Here comes Fred
This year will see the arrival of a formidable new force in the Japanese fashion market. Perhaps best known for being a go-to for Hollywood stars, Fred Segal is a trend-setting California clothing and lifestyle goods retailer, which in its 50-year history had never planned to expand beyond Los Angeles.

Designer Cynthia Rowley hits the double digits
New York-based designer Cynthia Rowley celebrated her brand's 10th year in Japan with a special talk show and cocktail dinner for VIP guests during Tokyo Fashion Week. The Barrington, Illinois, native's name has long been on the lips of American sportswear fans with her bright and feminine takes on casual-to-cocktail-style clothing. In Japan, the "Rowley girl" is extra sweet but could be concealing a little bit more edge. Rowley spoke to The Japan Times from her flagship boutique in Tokyo's trendy Aoyama district.

Totally wrapped in Joy
Asked to name a seminal New York City-born musician with an intrepid preference for over-the-top fashion, and Lady Gaga would surely the first name to roll off the tongue. But there's another female musician from the city who influenced global fashion with her unique taste in stage costumes: Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O's colorful finger-painting-meets-punk approach to outfits won her fans as an icon for the new millennium — and just before Gaga, too.
