Tokyo's MBFW festivities
It's mid-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tokyo (MBFW Tokyo) and there's still an array of snazzy events to carry you through to the end while keeping you fashionable. So roll up your best, pressed sleeves and read on.
The first event you should hit is Tokyo Vansankai, which gets its name from the word "bansankai," meaning "supper party." It's an evening-to-night event featuring various guests and the work of some of the biggest movers and shakers in Tokyo's art and fashion scene.
The highlight is an appearance by the eccentric photographer Keiichi Nitta, who has shot just about everyone who's anyone and always has the energy to shoot more. After assisting the revered New York-based fashion and celebrity photographer Terry Richardson, Nitta returned to Tokyo in 2006 and developed his own style of expressive imagery.
