It may not be the most wearable collection, but boring it is not. I personally love the futuristic, almost alienesque feel to the clothes. I'm as much of a fan of "structured" clothes as I am of ones that are loose fitting. Interestingly here, some of the dresses have been built to be stiff and rigid, yet the materials used are rather more delicate and soft. The blue dress is a good example of this and my favourite item here.

I adore fashion like this which looks like something from the past, only with a twist that keeps it relevant. I love shirts with ruffles, jackets with beautiful buttons and bows. There are a couple of items I'm not keen on, but overall I think this is a good and wearable (jackets and shirts especially) collection.

I'm seeing some inspiration from bones and skeletons in these two collections. Above the Hisui collection features bones to enhance the structure of some of the clothes. And below in the Mintdesigns collection some animal skeletons have been used for some interesting and amusing head pieces. I really like the umbrellas in this collection also.

I'm really in love with this beautiful new Fur Fur collection. I love the traditional Japanese influences here - in some of the fabrics, hair flowers and shapes of the outfits.

Japan Fashion Week started yesterday, and already I'm hooked! I love Japanese fashion - the layering, the colours, the mixture of fabrics and the juxtaposition of them and the fact that you need to look closely to see the details... Below, we can see some examples of this (colourful plaid, stripes and intriguing layering) in the Mercibeaucoup collection.
