The Tokyo fashion scene continues to lead the pack in fresh streetwear trends and international haute prowess, at least if the collections unveiled at Amazon Fashion Week Tokyo in mid-October are anything to go by.
Online retailer Amazon finally flexed its muscles this season with the presentation of its "AT Tokyo" program, inviting some of the most famous or buzzed-about brands in Japan to the catwalk and selling exclusive items online.
The womenswear lineup this season was pretty impressive, featuring a Sacai/Undercover joint show and Toga, among others. Attracting Sacai to present its latest collection was a real scoop. The label is arguably one of the most sought-after brands in high fashion, with Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld even anointing the brand's designer, Chitose Abe, as the next big thing.
