Just a day before the highly anticipated Grand Finale of this Japanese Fashion Week, onlookers stepped in with a new flash of excitement! As many as 8 runway designers showcased their spring summer Japanese influenced fashion cultures, in full fervour and passion.
The day kicked off with fashion labels Ujoh and Né-Net, whose creations were ethnic and chic in their own unique fashion. For Ujoh, the traditional Japanese midis, the street style crop tops and cargo capris and the admirably comfortable jumpsuits were all about this year’s ready to wear. A soft colour palette accompanied with soothing to the eyes floral prints was what made Ujoh amongst the onlookers’ favourite for the entire fashion week. Meanwhile, the latter concentrated more in showcasing structured silhouettes and a glossy pastel scheme of colours. Yet again, designer Kazuaki Takashima focused on innate Japanese culture influenced prints, styles and fits, attached with the required amount of delicacy and decency.
However, adding the much required dynamism to the ambience of the evening, designer Koji Udo presented his exclusive men’s ready to wear creations for the label Factotum. For him this year, it was all about an adventurous play with the two basic colours of black and white. From casual striped pyjamas and some playful boxers to classy blazers and denim jackets, the collection was applauded for its effective encapsulation of the entire ready to wear genre in the most youthful and fun way!
We had been missing some chic evening wear party ensembles just when designer Pim Sukhahuta’s Sretsis hit the runway in full swing. Lighting up the mood, the designer’s creations were edgy and filled with oomph and glamour, along with an enhanced amount of a shimmery colour palette. Giving a cut-throat competition to Sretsis was the label Onitsuka Tiger by Andrea Pompilio. Creating an eerie ambience for the evening, the designer’s creations were more inclined towards the elegant and classy evening wear, replete of subtle gowns and dresses in enigmatic colours which acted as the major highlights of the day.
Progressing towards the forthcoming day, the Japanese fashion week finally approached its end as the Grand Finale hit the grounds on 18th October. Mr. Gentlemen, Taro Horiuchi, Toga Virilis, Phire Wire, Facetasm and C.E were amongst the fashion labels showcasing their spring summer 2015 collections on the runway.
The curtains were raised by the exotic menswear collection by the label Mr. Gentlemen. The collection remained true to the terms gentility and chivalry. A number of formal wear were showcased, in a surprising yet highly admirable colour palette including bright reds, yellows, sky blues and Lucite greens to name few. Shirt styled tee shirts with funky pockets and collars were the major highlights of the collection. For someone who likes to keep it cool, along with maintaining the required decency and class, the collection is must have!
Also, Toga Virilis, Phire Wire and Facetasm also surprisingly presented exclusive menswear collections. All the three designers exclusively catered to casual, semi-formal and funky street wear genres. Where Phire Wire and Facetasm deployed the use of a vibrant scheme of colours, there Toga Virilis on the other hand displayed unique shades of reds, oranges, blues and beiges. Embellishments and add-on for this terrific trio included zesty zippers, bulky boxers, subtle stripes and luring layers. All in all, these collections surely bought forward a couple of must haves as well as a few enhancements and substitutions for spring summer 2015.
Meanwhile, designer Taro Horiuchi stood at an exclusive individualistic pedestal in her own personalised fashion. Her ready to wear 2015 collection was meant for the ambitious, aspiring yet highly glamorous women of today’s times. The silhouettes were mostly free flowing and the colour palette was gorgeously subtle. Playing with the shadows of black, white and grey, the designer proved that it isn’t necessarily important to follow the fashion conventions and continue monotony. Henceforth, her elegant gowns, sleek dresses and casual jumpsuits, all worked at the best of her advantage!
Thus concluded our Tokyo Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015, bringing up the best enhancement and ace styling for the upcoming fall season.
