Tokyo Fashion Week (Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week TOKYO 14S/S) kicked off on October 14th. The opening show was by the Italian brand Missoni, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

The women's and men's 14S/S collections, which were shown in Milan, were introduced. The designs featured motifs of water, earth, fire, and air, incorporating elements of Japanese kimono to create an oriental atmosphere.

The men's collection featured blue and brown tones with red accents. Coats, jackets, and open-collar shirts were paired with suede desert boots and sneakers.

The women's collection featured gradations of blue, green, purple, and orange evoking the sea and mountains, with black prints depicting seagulls and waves, and a geometric pattern that was an adaptation of the brand logo. Kimono elements were reflected in the collection's folded obi-like collars, haori-like collarless coats and jackets, asymmetrical tops layered with different fabrics, and tight skirts with slits. Missoni's signature jacquard knitwear was arranged with a fringe-like effect and used in a variety of items. Creative director Angela Missoni visited Japan for the show and made an appearance at the finale. Tokyo Fashion Week will run for six days until October 19th, with 37 brands (official schedule) presenting their 14SS collections at the main venue, Shibuya Hikarie. Numerous fashion events are scheduled during the period, including Ginza Fashion Week, the roomsLINK joint exhibition, and the Shibuya Fashion Festival.
