Wow. That was beyond enchanting! The few guys clothes were HOT.(they were guys weren’t they? They looked hot anyway…)
Japanese designers never disappoint.That’s just me, but they always seem to have an edge over everyone else in the fashion world in my opinion.

Such an interesting show.. it reminds me of Evisu’s ’08 Autumn/Winter Men’s collection somewhat, but on a much larger scale.
I’ve loved h.NAOTO ever since I saw a spread of it in a Gothic Lolita Bible ages ago and he did not disappoint!

I’m surprised this site hasn’t taken noticed of other Japanese brands.
At least I’ve seen Alice Auaa and H. Naoto here.
Some other brands of interest incluce Atelier Boz, Black Peace Now, and my two favorites Excentrique (corsets) and Na+H.

Idella – We’ve come across a lot of them, but I’ve been having a hard time finding web shops in English that carry them. Any that you know of, please send our way!
