Okinawa fashion: new style for Japan’s tropical islands

October 21, 2016 By publisher

Okinawa, the Japanese archipelago home to thousands of US troops and popular with scuba divers, is looking beyond its beach resorts and World War II battle sites to bag a spot in high fashion.

Both directors jetted into Tokyo for fashion week to meet buyers and journalists, but instead opted to stage their runway shows on Okinawa Island — live streaming them online to reach a wider audience.

Soccer star David Beckham has joined forces again with American actor and comedian Kevin Hart, in a new campaign for Swedish fashion retailer H&M. The full commercial, which is set to go live on hm.com September 26, is set on a road trip which sees both Beckham and Hart sporting identical looks from the autumn/winter 16 collection of the new “Modern Essentials line, selected by David Beckham” — which lands in stores and online from September 29. The campaign story, once again directed by Fredrik Bond, picks up where the duo left off in their first commercial together, where Hart prepared to play the role of Beckham in a biopic film, and sees the two traveling from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, supposedly to meet financiers for a new Vegas musical.
