Tokyo's fashion fans spent six days in the middle of this month looking at the city from the lofty viewpoint afforded by Shibuya's Hikarie building, and yet for all the excitement that was generated over the coming fall/winter collections, the rest of the city still showed general ambivalence toward Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo. It's a situation that is frequently lamented by the industry, costing the event both publicity and international luster. It's also a situation that is difficult to account for in a city so patently in love with fashion.
