Well, Japan's 5th Fashion Week was underway in Tokyo last week with designers such as Hiroko Koshino, Cabaret Aki & Jackai Kuzu, Ryunosuke Aoyagi, Junko Koshino, Eri Utsugi and so many more strutting their ecletic and amazingly funky '08 Spring/Summer style down the catwalk. . .

Eri Utsugi for Mercibeaucoup.

I read many western reviewers saying this looked horrible and tasteless but I love it because it's very cute don't you think? lol. I have queer taste. ^^ But yes, I do love the top the model is wearing and if I could grab my hands on one , you would find me wearing it to uni everyday! The top screams SABRINA - aka ME!! =D And no wonder it screams me because "Utsugi says mercibeaucoup, is a label likely to appeal to otaku geeks (i.e ME). The designer says this season's style emphasized its nerd (i.e ME) appeal with a collection that derived from anime (i.e ME)." Yep, that's me alright. lol. ^.~

Hiroko Koshino

Hiroko Koshino .

Hiroko Koshino

The above three photos - ain't the creations by Hiroko (espeically the third outfit)so pretty? I love Hiroko Koshino. The outifts reminds me of dukes and duchesses, something oh-so-very grand and sophisticated with a twist of fairy-tale like...Surprisingly I can imagine myself wearing these two outfits out to a dinner party, that is, of course, without the cone-shaped hat and the huge lashes under my eyebags.

Takumi Hatakeyama for T·H·D La maison

Oh my gosh!! This outfit!! Oh! Oh! Oh! So ... gorgeous!! I'm lacking in words to describe this but perhaps it is because I'm bias because I happen to have a very similar shirt to the one shown in the photo above. kekeke. It's inspiration alright. Now I know what else I can wear with my top. ^^

Ryunosuke Aoyagi for YLANG YLANG

Designer Ryunosuke Aoyagi took dress styles from the 1920s and 1930s -- both classic and those modeled on influences from the likes of Schiaparelli and Man Ray -- then tweaked them off balance with a modern feel.

Cabaret Aki & Jackal Kuzu for Gut's Dynamite Cabarets

And of course, we had to have a few male models here and there ...

... and who dressed up as females...And how hot is that coat?

Ritsuko Kato for Ele Tra

Surprisingly I found this very simple for such a Japanese designer but I still want it anyway. Afterall, simple is best and who can resist this shade of green? I can't. I want it. =D

Naoto Hirooka for h.NAOTO

Naoto Hirooka for h.NAOTO

Mayumi Sasaki for LyricisM

Mayumi sure knows the definition of Spring, ayes?? The illusion of high tea or perhaps an English picnic followed by gypsy dancing amongst the meadow. =]

Toru Kato for Zin Kato

I really like this outfit if it was just the dress alone. I thought that the necklaces were too much and took the attention away from the dress itself. Nevertheless, I love the colour and the design imprinted on the ruffles at the bottom of the dress.

Toru Kato for Zin Kato

Keisuke Nakane for ROCKER AND HOOKER

I just had to post up this outfit. It's composed of black and white photographs if you look carefully and I thought it was so funky and edgy, don't you agree?? =p

Toshikazu Iwaya for DRESS CAMP

She's the true Snow White. =p How gorgeous is this dress??

Noriko Fukushima

Hot! Hot! HOT!!

Noriko Fukushima

Imagine walking in this down the aisle and saying "I do" to your partner. Wouldn't you feel ultra cool and fabolous in this?? Or probably not. But I love the design of the dress. And imagine those ultra long legs - no need for high heels unlike me... *sighs* ><"

Koichi Chida for FUR

This just screams JAP!! My sister loves the top. The outfit's hot.

Hmm...re-looking at this, I think I can wear all of these stunning clothes out onto the streets in Sydney. ^^ And my gosh - haven't I gone overboard in showing so many photos and oh, there are so many more that I would like to show you!! ^^
