IN this fashion, the Japanese did deserve a thumbs up. Not only because the collection is always unique and innovative, but also full of surprises. But behind all that, there was the sad story is revealed.

Yes, at the Japan Fashion Week this time for the shock of surprise greeted the invited guests, buyers, and the media in Tokyo. Began as a young designer to designer famous GVGV like Sachio Kawasani, apparently is ready to surprise each of them. Not only in terms of unique design, but also the presence of robot model that can be posed coquettishly in front of hundreds of cameras.

As usual, Japanese fashion week is looking far into the future. Not stopping at the edgy design of nuance or futuristic, like a dedicated Kawasaki, but Japan is also a new innovation in the world of catwalk fashion by presenting a successful model of the robot get clicking sound expressions of admiration and amazement of the guests invited to attend.

How not, not only an elegant waltz, the “model” was able to pose in front of the camera, smiled, and slightly lowered lashes, which is typical style of the model. Not only that, his eyes were deliberately at present and a large round, which is extracted from the eyes of female characters in Japanese manga and anime. What makes a “model” full name Humanoid HRP-4C was special, is its ability to mimic the look of a supermodel while posing in front of the camera, and all that thanks to battery-powered motor integrated in the body and face.

In addition, Humanoid worth 1.37 million pounds was also fantastic shape with approximately 175 cm tall (5 feet 2 inches) and weighs only 43 pounds, making it an ideal model for all types of clothing. In terms of appearance, Humanoid was nearly perfect. But its creator, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), states still required a very long time so that the robot was able to match a supermodel.

“Currently, our robots are able to imitate facial expressions. However, he could not move as gracefully and as flexible as the human model,” said Director of AIST Humanoid Robot Engineering Shuji Kajita. “Maybe the research will be needed for 20-30 years more to make this Humanoid absolutely perfect,” he continued.

However, in addition to images presented futuristic, Japan Fashion Week, also keeps a sad story. A Japanese fashion site had reported that the second-largest fashion week in Japan, after Tokyo’s Fashion Week, it was not getting positive response from the citizens. Sites that mode until the late news that the last days of the implementation of Japan Fashion Week, there are many Tokyo residents who do not know that fashion week has been going on.

What really happened? Fashion site states that it happened because during the Japan Fashion Week is always held in locations that are less known people. In addition, sites that mode also “blamed” a lack of providers to sell and promote the event. Not only that, Japan Fashion Week, also lack of “appeal” from big names like Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto, and fist Watanabe prefer to do their show in Paris than in his native country.

One by one “deficiency” is then formed a long chain, which in turn makes Japan Fashion Week, sinking behind the big names. No longer visible line of celebrities who usually fill the front row, observers of international fashion, or the top buyers. In contrast, Japan Fashion Week, now like a scene performed for those who just graduated from fashion school.

However, this deficiency does not make Japan Fashion Week organizers discouraged. In fact, they made it as a starting point to re-up. This season, Japan Fashion Week brings success over 50 labels and designers to compete on the catwalk. Morale was also coupled with a touch of creativity and unique works that make their collections as a must have item when touching the market next spring. Tashiro fist instance. Designers who studied fashion design in this autodidak offers nuanced collection of innocent by white game enriched with detailed ruffles, frills and pleats.

Contrast with Tashiro, Sagimori Aguri it presents a collection of black-dominated. The reason? “Black is the eternal, the colors present in every season, and I try to offer a line of black in androgyny,” explained fashion school graduates Vantan This Design Institute. In addition to the line to bring talented young designers, Japan Fashion Week, also made some improvements in terms of venue and procedure implementation.
