💭 Kaoru Imajo for ODDA Magazine

Taking over as Japan Fashion Week’s director was something of a baptism of fire for Kaoru Imajo. When he stepped into the top job last year, with goals to transform and modernize the bi-annual event. Little did he know that his first fashion week would be hit by a massive typhoon. Then in March of this year, with just days to go before the kick-off of his second fashion week, it was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Imajo is more determined than ever to elevate and internationalize Japan Fashion Week with the online universe playing a key role in its future success.

💭 The Floral Dress for The Outnet

At first blush, the floral dress might not be thought of as a wardrobe icon in the same way as, say, a blazer, a crisp white shirt or a little black dress.

💭 Celine for VOGUE Japan

The clothing that Phoebe Philo creates for Celine has often been described as wearable artwork. She elevates the everyday wardrobe of modern women to a place where it feels both relevant and yet revolutionary. And from the beginning of her time at the house she has found creative ways to incorporate inspirations from other artists into her sartorial universe.
