Vantan Tokyo Fall 2012

I was lucky enough to attend yesterday's Vantan Tokyo Fall 2012 runway show.  What a great way to kick off my NYFW events!

The show consisted of 4 different collections from 4 different designers.  As I mentioned in my last post, they're all students from the Vantan Design Institute in Japan.  How lucky and exciting for these young designers to be showing at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York!

Here are a few of my favorite looks from the show~

SWANZI

What an awesome show!  Such interesting and unique pieces~ The SWANZI collection was my favorite.  The models were really gorgeous too, I loved the barely-there makeup and strong brows!

Whats really cool is that I got to see all of these pieces in person just an hour after the show, back at Nexus Showroom.  Nexus Showroom is hosting a Japanese Fashion Week and showcasing all of Vantan Tokyo's designs!

Today, I'll have the chance to speak with the designers themselves and learn a little more about their collections!

  1. All of them are actually really amazing... You took some great shots too! ♥ I think it's a tie between SWANZI & Yuya Kobuhara for favourites for me.
    Looking forward to hearing about your one on one experience with the designers!
