The very first collection of 2009 S/S Japan Fashion Week was started by mintdesigns.   There was a large audience for the collection started at 10:30am at wood terrace in Tokyo Midtown.

The runway was coordinated with serve-as-rain-and-shine umbrellas, which will be sold from this fall. It was fun collection to see mintdesigns’ unique designs and colors.

Those items printed on thin-vinyl materials are what designers are strong in.

At last, surrounded by interviewers as you assume.

On Sept.2^nd at noon, started collection of AKIRA NAKA @ Harajyuku Quest Hall

(the 2^nd day of Japan Fashion Week)

(Starts the collection)

Unlike the impacted last presentation (the gradation of knit from woven), Mr. Naka Akira (the designer) presented simple and dressy clothes, which he previously presented in Europe.

(As I assume,,,,)

He did not show up on the runway…..

Instead, he called out my name outside the hall!

We congratulated and shook hands each other!!

In a moment,

Interviewers crowded around him in no time☆★☆★

On Sept. 1^st, collection of Mikio Sakabe started at Harajuku Quest Hall at noon.

Although this was his 2^nd Tokyo collection, I could tell it was very well attended by looking at lots of standees!

The designer showed his own world using spring/summer-feel-textile and its color, yet keeping simple but sophisticated images from the last season.
