The pre-show queue was full of fashion junkies hiding their post party eyes behind Gucci and Calvin Klein sunglasses. Inside mathmatical wire sculptures hung from the ceiling invading the catwalk and giving the first clue to the theme of the collection - quite simply, it seemed to be about 'squares'. The majority of the collection is in light basic cottons with translucent muslin layers and the occasional use of leather and wool suiting. The colour palette focuses on neutrals broken up with uplifting splashes of red, lime and yellow. The cut of the under layers is simple and flowing whilst top garments are constructed of square and rectangular pieces of fabric, tailored in true Japanese stylie. The styling of the show was minimal with shiny opal eyes and lips with the uniform 'bed head' hair by Taku. The highlight of the show were the accessories - super, simple, silver head gear by Natsuko Hayashi and an array of bright PVC sandals. Overall a truly Japanese collection, part simple and wearable and then styled up for full affect.
