Today in Tokyo...

The Japanse designer Masanori Morikawa who is popular with celebrities such as Lady Gaga, presented his new collection for fall/winter 2013 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: inspired by nuclear threats as Chernobyl and environmental fears. Remarkably? It must be noted that this spring event was cancelled last year in the wake of the nightmarish earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands and crippled the country's basic services.

Japan Fashion Week, the second edition after the disaster and also the second one with sponsor Mercedes-Benz on board, will take place until Sunday March 25. Live coverage can be seen at tokyo-mbfashionweek.com/en/the14th/live/ .
