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.

Last autumn/winter season

for both the ladies and gents-

the super length sleeve sweater ruled as

upper body warmth cover-up from neck to finger tips.

Now for this year’s super chill factor clime

add another style dimension to the long-length sleeve sweater look:

accessorise with over-the-sleeve-worn chunky bracelet(s).

 

 

…

Favlook – Lookfav Focus

accessorise super length sleeve sweaters

 

add an over sleeve statement bracelet

accessory, bracelet, over super length sleeveKeep it simple with a single piece

or consider a stack attack with a bracelet pile-on
