The best street style from Tokyo Fashion Week 2020
What makes Tokyo’s street style so endlessly entertaining? The whimsical detailing, the futuristic silhouettes, or the fact that residents continue to set trends instead of following them? Whatever the appeal, there‘s no better time than during fashion week to observe the city’s best dressed.
For spring/summer 2020, the biannual showcase returns from October 14 to 20. Among its star attractions is Tomo Koizumi, the Tokyo-based talent who has been captivating audiences with his frothy ballgowns over the past two seasons at New York Fashion Week. Then there’s cult label DressedUndressed, experimental brand Mikio Sakabe and streetwear-inspired Cinoh.
Also worth adding to your calendar is the Face A-J, a fashion and cultural exchange programme between Africa and Japan, which sees creatives from both regions come together for a series of presentations, pop-ups and panel discussions. On this occasion, visiting designers will include 2019 LVMH Prize nominee Kenneth Ize and winner Thebe Magugu.
Away from the catwalk, the streets of the Japanese capital are packed with sartorial inspiration. Browse the most memorable looks below, as captured by Vogue photographer Kenta Iriguchi.
