Tokyo Fashion Week - Fur Fur's Fall 2010 Rapture





Tokyo Fashion Week is always the one I look forward to the most in the global round of fashion shows. Fur Fur presented a fantasy shipwreck themed runway last season. This season, it was all about saints, angels and possibly the rapture. Designer Aya Furuhashi showed elaborate concoctions of lace, ruffles and crucifixes that looked like they were ripped right from the church walls. The models looked somber, even stricken. With what? I can't be sure. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful, dramatic presentation.
