Sep 07 2006: Strange name and strange collection. io yukomura“Ta released its latest line in Marunouchi this afternoon. Camouflage and more military motifs bludgeoned this show and left me feeling particularly fed-up.
Sep 07 2006: You think you have seen everything until you see a fashion show performed in the dark. Taishi Nobukuni’s collection for Spring/Summer 2007 was a truly puzzling event. An almost pitch black arena with blackened models wearing very dark colours made for extremely difficult viewing.
