Oh my goodness the Gloomy Bear inspired line was adorable! Anyway… ^~;;

Though the designs from Vantan and Bunka are both very skilled, I have to say I think I enjoyed the pieces from Bunka a lot more. There was more variety between the different lines, and yet each line had more continuity. The Vantan pieces were just very discombobulating to me (but maybe that’s because each one was by a different designer?… I couldn’t tell). I love over the top and playful lines, but I like the fact that Bunka has some students who do more minimalist and simple stuff- it’s refreshing to see both the avant garde and the more mainstream together.

Ah, I love this so much. The Bunka students are so talented! I especially love the leather/biker feel of the first ones, they’re really cool. But my two favourites must be the bridal looks, the ones who look a bit Mori inspired, and the Gloomy bear outfits. They’re so creative and despite the fact that it’s inspired by a cartoon it still manages to have a great silhouette! Thank you so much for sharing these amazing photographs.

Diego Uene reminded me of Dorothy Vacance. ^^
Just making assumptions here. His designs look quite peruvian or latin american, his name is a quite common name in South America, is that his real name? Does he have a multiple nationality?

＠KD: From what I’ve heard, in Peru there is a quite large population of Japanese people and other Asian nationalities too… ^^
