The absence of many top prize winners from Tokyo who moved their runway shows to Paris Fashion Week this year was felt heavily at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tokyo exhibitions. But Japan is known for its cutting edge, ahead-of-the-pack designs even though it was generally reviewed as “lo-fi” this year. Techy outdoor materials, survival and military inspirations were artistically incorporated via pieces that were patched, washed, or in some cases remade. Throughout the show, denim showed up again and again along with chunky knits and multiple mixed fabrics, which added to the more “street-casual” feel of almost every runway show.
