Tokyo Girls Collection is the biggest and most famous fashion event in Japan that showcases the season’s fashionable street wears with domestic brands, combined and jam packed with concerts from popular music groups. It is the first and original fashion and music event that started and is held twice a year, said to be one of the most influential events in Asian countries. The most recent TCG event, 2012 Spring/Summer edition drew over 250, 000 excited fashionistas to Yokohama Area in early March. Attending this event is one of the best ways to keep in line with the latest seasonal street fashion trends in Japan.
Unfortunately, if you do not have the liberty to hitch a plane and fly to Japan this moment, the second best thing to do is look at second-hand photos on the internet. (i.e. the sad and lonely me) Perhaps one day I will join the mass of 250k excited teenage girls (and a few guys) in Tokyo but for now I am satisfied with gazing at this dream from afar…
If you do decide to attend Tokyo Girls Collection, make sure you order tickets on the dot because the event is so popular that tickets usually sell out within hours.What I like about the event is that, for once, it showcases fashion styles that you CAN wear on the street. Normally, other fashion shows will just leave me speechless…
Without further ado, I will share with you my top ten styles that were showcased this year:
Tokyo Girls Collection #1 Special Collection (doesn’t count as a brand but nevermind)
Tokyo Girls Collection #2 Phebely
Tokyo Girls Collection #3 RYZA
Popcorn! Om nom nom. Sorry I got distracted.. ;(
BWAHAHA Anna Tsuchiya! I’m not too sure about this combination which seems to be punk on the top half and bridal/flower on the bottom but since I am biased I will embrace it.
Tokyo Girls Collection #4 Liz Lisa
Those parasols seem to be the most delicate things. I think if I ever buy one I will just showcase it in the display cabinet and force every person that visits my house to marvel at it, like so:
I suppose it should be rather sturdy but it still feels too pretty to be used as an umbrella. I won’t be able to bear bringing it out in the rain especially as I can already see holes shooting through the delicate fabric upon impact. I don’t think a parasol will be very helpful in a hailstorm either 😦
ah sorry for ranting. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I will endeavour to continue my mission (hopefully without any of my side comments) :
Tokyo Girls Collection #5 One Way
Tokyo Girls Collection #6 Doublefocus
Tokyo Girls Collection #7 Khaju
Tokyo Girls Collection #8 Abbey Dawn
Tokyo Girls Collection #9 Yasuhiro Watanabe x WWD
Ok I can’t contain myself for this one! I must say, I would wear the jumpsuit on the street but I don’t think I would buy the ‘New York’ headband as well. If I started dozing off on the train I would get massive head pains.
Tokyo Girls Collection #10 YEVS x Kyoko Amano
End of mission 😉
