Japanese designers look homeward

March 12, 2008

The sixth Japan Fashion Week is in full bloom and so are young designers in Japan. Ten new budding designers, who are carefully selected by the fashion week committee, have also hit the catwalk along with the veterans. There has been an increase of Japanese fashion designers returning from abroad to seek a new platform at the fashion extravaganza. Their hope is to compete against big brand names and gain recognition at home. Chika Osaka reports.Chika Osaka reports.
