D.TT.K held its second presentation in Tokyo, following last season's.

The installation, held on the 16th as part of an off-schedule event at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo (MBFWT), featured models wearing the 2016 Spring/Summer collection gathering at a party on the terrace of a building next to the Shuto Expressway in Minami-Aoyama. Invited guests freely took photos and shared them on social media, a style often seen at men's collections overseas over the past few seasons. This clearly differentiated the brand from other brands participating in the Tokyo Collection, targeting its loyal market.

For the 2015-16 Fall/Winter collection, held in March of this year, a live performance by Swedish hip-hop crew Yung Lean & Sad Boys was held as an official MBFWT event. Fashion insiders hoping for a runway show were left speechless. Perhaps reflecting on the controversy surrounding that event's style, this time the brand adopted a format that showcased the latest collection while remaining true to its own unique style.

The 2016 Spring/Summer collection features logo work as the main focus, with items such as sweatshirts, distressed denim, and rider jackets crafted with a focus on detail.

Although the collection consists of only a few items, the line, which combines graphics and a spacey, futuristic feel that have continued since the debut season of Fall/Winter 2013-14, is now in its fifth season, and gives off a sense of contemporaneity with the new brand culture represented by Milan's Marcelo Burlon, New York's Hood by Air, and Paris's Pigalle.
