Taro Horiuchi, one of a new generation of Japanese fashion designers, studied and established himself in London and Antwerp, Belgium. Unlike many other designers who have followed similar career paths, however, he chose to return to Japan to launch his first collection. This might not sound surprising, but a problem often associated with Japanese fashion is that once a designer is established abroad, he or she tends to stay and show abroad. Yohji Yamamoto's 2010 show in Tokyo, for example, was his first in Japan in 19 years.
