100% Love and Peace
That title kind of catches your eye, doesn’t it? It sounds like something from the 60s. The event that was named this way even looked a bit like it originated in that era.
Men Go For Skirts
Japanese men are finally breaking through one of the few remaining fashion taboos: men wearing skirts and dresses.
Harajuku Trends
Emi and I shot a lot of new photos of street fashion in Tokyo’s Harajuku.
Lolita Fashion in Singapore
Lolita fashion might have started in Japan, but it is increasingly popular all over the world. MTV Asia recently interviewed lolita fans in Singapore.
Street Goes Official
While shooting in Tokyo’s trendy Harajuku, I noticed there is a whole new trend in headgear. Uniform hats and caps—and anything else that even looks slightly official—are red hot.

Japanese brand Everlasting Sprout is famed for its beautifully designed knitwear. Every season they manage to show a fairytale collection with new silhouettes, designs textures and colors. This season’s theme was Color Thief.
JFW S/S 2010: Hisui
The last collection of Hisui was all about inventive shapes, mixed textures and color. It was quite a shock to find that the brand turned pure for its latest collection.
JFW S/S 2010: Gut’s Dynamite Cabarets
The Gut’s Dynamite Cabarets fashion show on October 23 was a disco, a drag ball and a fashion show in one. Keeping up with past traditions, Gut’s put on a show filled with drags, transvestites and a Madonna-impersonator all wearing tight, glittery underwear.
JFW S/S 2010: IZREEL
The men-only brand IZREEL is known for its bold and daring men’s fashion and new prints. Inspired by the armor of Japanese samurai, the IZREEL S/S 2010 collection was called modern armor.
JFW S/S 2010: Matohu
Matohu creates masterful creations for modern urban fashion lovers inspired by ancient kimonos.
JFW S/S 2010: Yuki Torii International
For over 40 years, designer Yuki Torii has been a prominent name in the Japanese fashion industry. More due to her thoroughly elegant style than for being innovative.
JFW S/S 2010: Jazzkatze
While some shows at the Japan Fashion Week were extremely Japan-related, with collections inspired by traditional Japanese crafts, Jazzkatze showed a very multi-cultural collection for its JFW debut. It went on a London wildlife safari.
