Nowhere is their influence more apparent than in the exhilarating fashion scene that has bloomed in the past decade. Both buzzing and tranquil, energetic and serene, the mesmerizing paradox that shrouds the city balanced out with the fashion presented this season. Whether it was avant-garde creations of another world or zenful tailoring from a master&#8217;s hand, designers relied on a wide range of inspirations to bring their dreams to the runway.<\/p>\n<p>Models.com traveled to the bright city this season to view the Spring\/Summer 2016 collections ourselves and see what the designers had to offer.

The result was a well thought out mixture of playful textiles formed into easy-going silhouettes. The drawn flower appeared throughout the collection but in surprising ways whether it was silver foil stamped into a polo shift dress or painterly drawn into a sleeveless blouse.\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"keita-maruyama\">Keita Maruyama<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/KeitaStitched.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/KeitaStitched.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/KeitaStitched-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/KeitaStitched-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/KeitaStitched-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\n<p>Unashamedly girly, Keita Maruyama made sure to play up bold colors, flirtatious prints, and ladylike shapes. At times Maruyama\u2019s inspiration of nature and its organic elements this season was subtle in the embroidered and printed chiffon pieces; other times it was amusingly in-your-face with the maximalist ruffles and lace components. Make no mistake Maruyama\u2019s high society woman was exactly that &#8211; and she really loved pink.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"sulvam\">Sulvam<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/SulvamStitched.jpg\" alt=\"SulvamStitched\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/SulvamStitched.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/SulvamStitched-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/SulvamStitched-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/SulvamStitched-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\n<p>Teppei Fujita of Sulvam fame looked to Western Americana for his reinterpretation of classic raw denim, Old-West workwear, and cowboy boots. Studded, fringed, and dyed what could have been overwrought with stale design was stimulatingly stylish with an effortless vibe. Fujita, formerly of Yohji Yamamoto tutelage, had a craftsmanship that clearly showed the impact of the older generation. Yet, his fearless take on already established motifs showed an expertise in patterns and editing that was surprising to see in a brand so young. What was also noteworthy was the casting of the collection &#8211; a bevy of Japanese faces fully dominated the line-up for a meeting of Western aesthetics with Japanese cool.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"atsushi-nakashima\">Atsushi Nakashima<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/AtsushiStitch.jpg\" alt=\"AtsushiStitch\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/AtsushiStitch.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/AtsushiStitch-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/AtsushiStitch-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/AtsushiStitch-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\n<p>Atsushi Nakashima went back to the future with his offering for Spring 2016. Inspired by Stanley Kubrick\u2019s novel \u201c2001: A Space Odyssey,\u201d the color palette of black, white, and red were molded into ath-leisure designs of a different realm. Pops of olive, gold, and silver were the space-like neutrals that gave it all balance.

For Yu Amatsu\u2019s third collection for the brand, that important history fact and the influence of the West was apparent in the Spring 2016 collection. Amatsu thought about water, particularly the American Great Lakes, and used light textures, prints, and flowing silhouettes to mirror the bubbles, waves, and ripples of the tidal element. Swarovski crystals were woven into looks in the middle resembling the ice chips which later evolved into a glacial prism print. This all made way for the colorful bloom of Spring with floral prints sprouting at the end.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"motohiro-tanji\">Motohiro Tanji<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MotohiroTangi-Stephan-1280w.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MotohiroTangi-Stephan-1280w.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MotohiroTangi-Stephan-1280w-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MotohiroTangi-Stephan-1280w-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MotohiroTangi-Stephan-1280w-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\n<p>A 3D programming student turned knitwear design graduate, Motohiro Tanji brings a keen technical eye to the usually staid world of knit. This season he offered up a mostly monochromatic collection \u2014 punctuated in the middle by two entire looks in red \u2014 of intricately made clothing with great detail. But where other designers may have ended up in an over-designed danger zone of fussiness, Tanji\u2019s knits were relaxed and effortlessly beautiful.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"yoshio-kubo\">Yoshio Kubo<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/YoshioStitched.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/YoshioStitched.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/YoshioStitched-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/YoshioStitched-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/YoshioStitched-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\n<p>Menswear designer Yoshio Kubo brought plenty of drama to this season\u2019s catwalk \u2014 driftwood and chandeliers lined the middle of the runway, which the models strode purposefully down to a backdrop of smoke and pulsating music. There was a menacing theatre to the collection, with the Arab Spring\/Paris riots inspired head coverings and a dominate theme of military green, khaki, and beige colour palette. Mixed in amongst the hard was a soft romanticism consisting of vintage floral, nautical, and geometric prints.

With subtle imperfections \u2014 such as raw edged trench coats, denim jackets, and jeans \u2014 and muted colours, the largely androgynous, beautifully tailored clothing was crisp, lightweight, and endlessly wearable.\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"factotum\">Factotum<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FactotumStitch.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FactotumStitch.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FactotumStitch-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FactotumStitch-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FactotumStitch-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\nMenswear brands in Tokyo tend to inspire cult followings amongst painfully hip young Japanese men, and if the audience was anything to go by, Factotum certainly has some of the hippest devotees out there. And it\u2019s no wonder, with a collection consisting of just the right amount of pieces to satisfy the eccentric, the monochromatic minimalist, or the oversized sportswear enthusiast. This season the Factotum man is equal parts serious as he is irreverent \u2014 think a surfer into brutalist architecture and industrial post-punk\u2026 or Pharrell on an expedition into the Amazon rainforest.\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"facetasm\">Facetasm<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FacetasmStitch.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FacetasmStitch.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FacetasmStitch-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FacetasmStitch-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/FacetasmStitch-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\nPleats, ruffles, ribbons and wild hair and makeup may make Facetasm seem, at first glance, a little gimmicky. But look closer and you\u2019ll find sharp tailoring and fresh ideas.

This season Morishita set his sights on ladylike demureness, a concept that has been known to go very wrong &#8211; some designers maybe spent a little too much quality time with their grandmothers at an impressionable age. But with his mix of textiles and techniques, this season Lamarck was definitely more modern than mumsy.\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"matohu\">Matohu<\/h3>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MatStitch.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MatStitch.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MatStitch-840x421.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MatStitch-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/10\/MatStitch-200x100.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits credbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"interview\">\nA brand with strong philosophical roots (\u2018matohu\u2019 itself is a Japanese concept to do with the duality of beauty and restraint), this season the design duo of Hiroyuki Horihata and Makiko Sekiguchi played with airy femininity and subdued practicality.
