Don't be fooled by this roomful of lovely-looking-ladies, in their hands they wield a lot of power across the fashion industry... internationally speaking. All seventeen 'VOGUE' editors made the trip to Tokyo to celebrate 'FASHION'S NIGHT OUT'. Tokyo's version of the all-night shopping extravaganza featured over four hundred retailers and a direct portion of the profits went towards supporting victims of the Japan earthquakes. Here is a list of all the editors from left to right: Yolanda Sacristan, Spain; Kirstie Clements Australia; Anaita Adajania - India; Christiane Arp, Germany; Angelica Cheung, China; Franca Sozzani, Italy; Mitsuko Watanabe - Japan; Anna Wintour, America; Emmanuelle Alt - France; Alexandra Shulman - Britain; Victoria Davydova, Russia; Anna Harvey, representing Brazil and Greece; Seda Domanic - Turkey; Myung Hee Lee - Korea; Rosalie Huang -Taiwan; Eva Hughes, Mexico and Latin America; and Paula Mateus - Portugal. Wall Street Journal interviewed ANNA WINTOUR regarding her recent trip to Tokyo, which I found quite interesting... "What do you think of Japanese fashion? It seems to be at a crossroads between haute couture and fast fashion, but the country hasn’t produced many well-known designers in recent years. Ms. Wintour: Walking in the street yesterday, everywhere you look you see young people who put themselves together with such individuality and style. It’s different from China, which seems to be much more girly in their approach. This is just original and fearless and independent and individual. It reminds me, in a way, of the streets of London. They have fun with it. Did any outfits stand out to you?
Ms. Wintour: There was a lot of hair, a lot of hair going on. Mostly colored hair. And actually, I have to say that the young men tend to take a little bit more risk than the women. It was fantastic. It was 40-year-olds on down, and they’re not frightened of it, which I think maybe in some big cities, certainly in New York, you would never see men dress so much as they were here. It was refreshing. And there were a few very well-dressed dogs I have to say." Read the full interview HERE. |
