The city’s bones are on fashion trial. Meg Miura 2015 SS 都会の骸骨を連れ戻しに来た”闇”を華やかな服に。MEG miura 春夏2015
Meg Miura is one of those designers who comes off as moody and distant, what with an ouvre of cerebral and gothic designs. But in fact she’s a great partner to kick back a few (beers) with; she’s very open and bitingly funny. Perhaps its the darkest designers who have the most contrastingly cool personalities

There once was a boy. He went to an ivy league college, was recruited into a top company, and he had a good wife. But one day he woke up to find his company going under and divorced from his wife. So he left his house on a trip as a man without purpose. The
The dark side of Tokyo fashion. Satoko Ozawa 2015 SS 東京発の本格的にエッジな服がお見え！！satoko ozawaメンズレディス2015春夏
People ask where I get my information from, and I tell the truth; it’s either dumb luck or the best stuff just finds me. It’s impossible to see every exhibit of every brand of every season, and it’s often a chance game to decide where to spend my time (there’s only 24 hours in day

It was flowers before death, with Thom Browne’s SS 2015 collection (I’m letting my mind project to Spring now since it’s actually marrow-chillingly cold now).

The Jenny Fax 2015 SS show was ensconced in the depths of a car park in St. Nowheres-ville in Tokyo, a runway of cold concrete in every direction. In the middle there was a platform decorated in Taiwanese cash, newspapers, junk mail, packages and stones. When it was time to start, smoke filled the
モテ系がモテない？異性にアピールする、日本と西洋の違いをモテ系で探る。When sexy isn’t pretty. A culture shock in Japanese “Pretty” style fashion.
まさか自分がこのトピックを取り上げるなんて思いもしなかったけど、この間ちょっとしたカルチャーショックを受けたので。東京に住むようになって、いろいろなユニークなファッションに出逢った。ヤマンバ、サイバーゴス、白塗り、着ぐるみん等等。でも驚くほど珍しいとは思わなかった。だって、ミーシャが日本のカルチャーを尊敬しやってきたのはこういうものに触れたかったから。 でも最近、あるファッションスタイルを学んだ。自分にとっては本当にびっくりするような、理解するのが難しいタイプのもの。それはずばり、”モテ系”。 モテ系ファッションについて学ぶことで、カルチャーの難しさを改めて思い知らされた。日本とアメリカのファッションは共通点がたくさんある。だけど、男性にアピールすることが目的のモテ系ファッションを通して、両者にはまだまだ多くの違いがあることも分かった。もともと、モテ系的なファッションに注目したことはなかったけれど、偶然そういう機会をいただいた。きっと、何が起きたか知ったらみなさん驚くことでしょう… There comes a tipping point, the “hump” as we’d say, when nothing in an adopted culture can really be all that surprising anymore. This is especially true in my experience working in fashion in Japan. I’ve seen my share of fashion with flair while living in Tokyo- the yamambas, cyber
