Lithium Homme Femme Show: "Versus"

Last week I received an invitation to go to a fashion show in Ebisu called the Lithium Homme Femme Show. I did not plan on going to Tokyo but decided to see what the show and designer were all about! I was not disappointed. We arrived to the show ten minutes before opening to find the line backed up all the way around the building. I was lucky enough to wait with the press and got in quickly for a front row seat. Unfortunately the models walked down the long runway extremely fast and I was not able to capture any images of them. I did manage to get a video of the finale though (see below). The female models paraded out from one end of the runway dressed in long white blazers and the men entered from the other end in black blazers.

The show was late to start as there were a lot of people to seat! The room was dimly lit with blue lights and we felt the excitement slowly build as people took their seats and waited for the show to begin. The room was quite large and the runway was long, black and incredibly shiny! All of a sudden, the bright lights came on and the show began. The music was powerful and fitted the hard vibe the clothes gave off. Many of the pieces were simple, but well executed and featured clean cut lines. The details were in the accessories and the trims, buttons and colors. There was a lot of black leather, a large assortment of outerwear and vests. The female models often wore booties that matched the coats or dresses they wore and it helped bring the looks together. The shoes were a mix of colors from blacks to pinks and all in patents! Key trends for this collection? Rolled up jeans (men and women), ruffled skirts and blouses, bright pink scarves, strong shoulders and boyfriend blazers! It was a great show to watch and the designer (Hiramatsu Takashi) showed a large collection of pieces. Visit the website here for more information. What's your take on this collection?
