K.Brat Womenswear Collection

The first instance I came across the label K Brat, was the moment when, I spotted designer Keren Brat's handbag collection, which was constructed with great detail and attention, I never got round to sharing this collection with you readers back then, so I wont pass up the opportunity of sharing the latest AW 2010-2011 Womenswear collection, made up of high quality hand made garments tailored among strong classic lines, added with the twist of freshness giving it an edge, whilst keeping the independent modern woman in mind. 

The tailored mien would complement most womens shapes and figure, inducing chicness with light pastel grays and purple with hints of ruffle and zip detailing. It's all in the elfin power details. To see the rest of the collection visit the link below.

Tokyo Turf Fashion

TOKYO//SHOP SCOUT

Tokyo is famous for its maze-like streets and tiny stores, with oodles of clandestine gems to discover. The following are some of my favorite street-minded fashion stores in Tokyo. I'm always pestering my friends from Tokyo, as to when they're paying a visit back to England- so I can put in an order of goodies I have my eye on. Though truthfully I'm always without a dime, when the opportunity arrives! All stores stock the latest new international designers on the arena.

Antonio Murphy & Astro

The Tokyo-based design collective was started in 2002 by VERBAL and YOON. Inspired by the phrase "ANYTHING GOES", they draw ideas from the many creative outlets in Tokyo to produce original designs.

In 2004 they launch the jewelry brand, Antonio Murphy & Astro®. Using 18K gold, platinum, diamonds and other precious stones, they designed their own comical renditions of the mainstream Hip Hop jewelry popular at the time.

Masaya Nishimura

My acrylic palate is fructified by the "Treasure Chest" modern concept, this collection bestows. Born in Kyoto, Masaya Nishimura went to study design at ESMOD Japan,  Masaya's concept is to create accessories which are bold yet elegant. His craft is in transforming acrylic pieces into luxurious-stone and gem-looking jewelries.

Zutto Tsuzukete Japan Nihon-koku

You maybe aware that Asian Fashion plays a elephantine part to why I'm drawn to the avant-garde, in particularly from the nation of Japan. I've always seeked to gain a stimulus from the Japanese mavericks.  I stand amid the countless of people whom have Japan currently close to there heart, hopes and tears. After hearing from some of my friends, thankfully it would seem Tokyo is regaining some lifeblood, as workers return from short leave of absence. 

I was specifically looking forward to Japanese Fashion Week in Tokyo, which was scheduled to be held from March 18th, understandably it had to be canceled, the designers expressed their apologies for being unsure of when or how to even reschedule exhibitions. As a consequence, the designers will now be holding  sporadic exhibitions showcasing their collections. I'll try and share these with you over the next month.

    ~ ~So for now I decided to give salute to Japanese Fashion in my next few posts. ~~
