Men were quick to put their best feet forward at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo, with a heavy concentration of light and minimalist sportswear that proved popular on the catwalks.
The menswear element of this Oct. 13-20 event may have opened with the Facetasm show on Oct. 14, where Hiromichi Ochiai's blend of cultures and hyper layering, reflected the current look on the streets, but elsewhere the layers were lighter and the textiles more restrained throughout — even from the usually flamboyant Toshikazu Iwayu, who returned from a leave of absence to again helm his brand Dresscamp this year.
But despite this sporty inclination, the diversity expected from Tokyo was there in spades at these spring/summer 2013 shows.
