Coming back in style
After an absence of nearly 20 years, the godfather of Japanese fashion, Yohji Yamamoto, returned to Tokyo for a well-deserved hero's welcome. Yamamoto, who arguably has been one of the biggest style influences in Japan and abroad since making his Paris debut in the early 1980s, chose Yoyogi National Stadium for his anticipated reappearance.
Over 3,000 people filled the arena and the spectacle ("fashion show" doesn't really do it justice) included local jazz favorites Peace-K and celebrity models, such as singer Monsieur Kamayatsu, former national soccer coach Philippe Troussier and writer Makoto Shiina.
