Q4: Overall thoughts on this season's collection
A:
There are many brands that don't feel the need to hold shows.
Q5: Thoughts on Tokyo Fashion Week
A:
The main venue moved to Shibuya, and the number of visitors has increased, and web page views have also increased, but my impression is that the content hasn't changed much. I think they should set stricter standards for supported brands. The scheduling is terrible, so even if I try to see the whole collection, I can't. The venue isn't great, so the collections don't look good. However, I think there are many interesting and good brands. If you are going to hold a fashion show, I would like you to think carefully about the meaning of doing it.
