After Motonari Ono we went to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe Presentation which show cased the Vantan Design Institute Fashion. They are best fashion school of Tokyo and we are looking forward to seeing more of their designs later in the week. The models walked around a matte black coupe showcasing both the collection and the car. which was matte black and looked phenomenal in that color, I might add : )
Afterwards there was a Q & A with CEO of Mercedez-Benz Japan, Nicholas Speeks. He said something we rather liked, "Mercedes is in the Fashion Business. When you buy a car you are making a statement about yourself."
As you may know, Tokyo Fashion Week had to be cancelled last season as a result of the March 11th earth quake and all of the devastation that followed. This is Mercedes-Benz first time sponsoring Tokyo Fashion Week, and it is nice to see their company come along side of Japan in their efforts towards recovery and expanding their fashion designers reach to a global market. It's definitely been a great honor to be a part of it so far. We really hope that more people see the great designs coming out of Tokyo Fashion Week and make the trip out here to support Japan in the future. It is well worth it : )
We hope you are all doing well and are enjoying our coverage of Tokyo Fashion Week thus far!
