In Japanese fashion this month, we see two local designers embarking on international careers by taking over one of Italy's most well-known brands, along with a new two-day fashion and lifestyle market in Harajuku, with attractions for the whole family.

Yasutoshi Ezumi of his namesake brand will head womenswear, while Koji Udo of Factotum will helm the duties of menswear. The announcement came after brothers Ennio and Carlo Capasa retired in March last year, after around 30 years of taking their label to international fame.
