Just two years after the destruction of the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant due to an offshore earthquake and resulting tsunami, Japan is once again rising from the ashes and reinventing itself as a fashion mecca.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo opened today, with their official kickoff ceremonies held last night.
The event, which runs through Saturday, March 26, will feature some of Japan’s best designers, artisans, and models, as well as designers from around the world.
The Runway Schedule, which includes designers such as DressedUndressed, COTOO, and Yasutoshi Ezumi, lists almost back-to-back shows throughout the entire week.
Many of the live runway shows and events will be broadcast live around the world via FashionTV.com. Check the website for more details. Also, be sure to check out the official Tokyo Fashion Week facebook page.
