Japan Fashion Week spring Summer 2010 took place last week in Tokyo. The 9th Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo started October 19 en ended October 24 2009. This year a total of 21,794 people attended the events according to the organizers and 51 brands participated.
As you can see in the photos the fashion is very commercial ready for the shops. I was not very impressed, but I am not an expert. However Japan has a lot of talent and the Japanese consumer is very discerning and fashion oriented.
These are some of the brands that participated: Motonari Ono, Garçonshinois, Takumi Hatakeyama, JUNYA TASHIRO, Mintdesigns, Hidenobu Yasui, DRESS33, fur fur, SOMARTA, The Dress & Co, Yukiko Hanai, DANSKMODE, Christian Westphal, PHIBERY, TROVE, DUNE, Jazzkatze?and others.
You can also see that most models are not Japanese.
