The fashion scouts taking Japan’s underground labels global

March 16, 2016 By publisher

Far from the flashbulbs of Tokyo fashion week, Yoshio Yokobori is juggling multiple roles — talent scout, cultural interpreter, dealmaker — in a quest to help foreign buyers navigate a labyrinthine design landscape and access Japan's most exciting underground labels. Although Tokyo's streets offer up a wealth of inspiration for global trend spotters, Japanese designers have struggled to make a dent abroad in recent years to follow in the hallowed footsteps of influential and successful designers such as Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto. It's a problem industry insider Yokobori knows well.

March 16, 2016 By creative

Anthony Vaccarello, creative director of Versace's sister line, added a rebellious touch to the collection's urban vibe for autumn/winter 2016. While keeping the codes of the Versus line, this new collection brings a gritty, even rebellious edge to the label's autumn/winter looks, in a range of urban, sporty, sometimes boyish ensembles. It's this toughness that we capture in the new Versus Versace collection — the individual attitude of the new generation,” explains Donatella Versace.

With over 60 catwalk shows under her belt over the last round of fashion weeks, Lineisy Montero proved an all-round hit among ready-to-wear designers and fashion houses.

Far from the likes of Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and other ultra-connected, media-hyped models, Lineisy Montero is carving out a successful career on the runway in a much more discreet but nonetheless effective way.
