Although Japan Fashion Week doesn't exactly overload on men's fashion, with only a handful of quality designers showing this season, the outlook from the '08-'09 Autumn / Winter Collection is generally positive.
As always, the most recognizable of Japanese menswear labels — Lad Musician, N. Hoolywood and Factotum — this time chose to show off-schedule, which left slim pickings for any fashionistos out there.
While the European collections turned out some great shows from high-end Lanvin (Lucas Ossendrijver), to Japanese indie label Number (N)ine from Takahiro Miyashita, Tokyo was home to a balanced mix of established brands, fresh faces, and veterans returning with new projects.
