Christian Dada's Masanori Morikawa: making his own way
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.

Put on your fashion face and get ready for Tokyo fashion week
One of the hottest fashion items to come out of Japan recently isn't what you may expect it to be. Moisturizing face masks, a long-time part of Japanese women's beauty routine,have been getting a makeover. While most still resemble plastic-surgery post-op gauze, now you can also find ones that make you look like a monster, animal or even a member of KISS. It's become part of the "costume play" craze that has seen anime and manga seeping into mainstream style agendas.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo: young blood
Ten years have now passed since Tokyo first strutted its stuff on the international catwalk and yet the metropolis still lacks the pulling power of rivals such as Milan, New York and Paris. As if the domestic industry didn't have enough on its plate, the wheels threatened to come off the spring/summer 2015 edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo even before it got off the ground, with Typhoon Vongfong bearing down on the capital at the beginning of the week. Fortunately, the storm turned out to be something of a damp squib as far as Tokyo was concerned, giving those in the industry the opportunity to showcase their collections in the clear skies that followed.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo: breaking with tradition
There is an identity crisis at the heart of Japanese fashion. It has two contradictory faces that it would like to reconcile — both domestically and abroad. On one hand, the image of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu acolytes posing on the streets of Harajuku prevails and yet, at the same time, the word "Japanese" invokes the image of traditional garments — regrettably reduced to just the kimono in most minds, simply a fixed aesthetic locked in time as a national costume rather than a fashion object.
