For Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week-Tokyo, a / w 2016
Japanese designer, Hiroko Koshino
presented a stellar collection.
Having studied at the prestigious Bunka Fashion College, Tokyo
Ms. Koshino has been a fashion industry factor since the mid-1960s
when she opened her first high-end clothing store in Osaka.
She progressed to show successfully her inspired creations around the world.
Throughout the decades, Ms. Koshino has won a number of awards for
her work in fashion and art.
It is then of no surprise, that her autumn/winter ’16 runway presentation
was a visual treat, expertly melding:
style influences from various eras
mixed fabrication of luxe textiles
diverse print designs
avant-garde accessories (headwear, jewellery, tights)
…
In all, a ying yang vibe of complementary contrasts.
