Get ready for Fashion Week

Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo — from March 22-26 — is gearing up for its 10th round of showcasing some of the country's best and freshest fashion geniuses. While it is technically an industry-only affair, there are a few related events planned for anyone with a passion for fashion.

From March 22-28, the Pola Museum in Ginza will be showing an exhibition that retrospects the last 50 years of fashion through the archived pages of recently defunct High Fashion magazine. Hotel Claska in Meguro will be holding a flea market on the evening of March 26 (7 p.m.-11 p.m.) with brand names such as Mikio Sakabe slated to sell both new and personal items for a steal. And, since Japan Fashion Week is all about the shows, Takashimaya Shinjuku will be hosting a public presentation by label Ka Na Ta, as well as setting up a display space on the 8th floor for the spring collections of many JFW brands.
