Taishi Nobukuni, designer at menswear giant Takeo Kikuchi, presented his signature line in a show for this season’s Tokyo Collections.

With a truly ethnic line he set his stall out from the beginning with an exquisite white jacket with “100% FAKE” emblazoned on the back while a husky accompanied the model down the catwalk.

Dalmatians, lambs and hawks were also paired with models and Nobukuni’s message was explicit.

This was a truly beautiful show and certainly the best show by far this fashion week. A real fusion of African, Indian and Asian influences that all stood out from the crowd.

A black quilted jacket with silver fur lining, animal prints, Dalmatian spots with sophisticated detail and patterns both shocked and delighted.

Blindfolds, Eskimo jackets, Indian aprons and a slightly Middle Eastern aspect finished this stunning collection.

Nobukuni crossed continents, ethnicities and hearts with an excellent political show that stood up for a noble cause.
