.Kamiya’s program occurred under the roaring train tracks of Akihabara, the Tokyo otaku area understood for its great quantity of electronics and also cartoons merch stores.It was actually an amusing option for Koji Kamiya, who is actually the reverse opposite of a computer geek. The youthful professional’s artistic swings much less nerd and also more defiant adolescent sleazebag, with a Tokyo spin. At first look you could believe you’ve observed those exhaustion flannel tee shirts, troubled Cobain sweatshirts, stained hoodies, as well as baggy jeans previously, yet Kamiya discreetly carries his own fresh taste of grunge to the dining table with experimental fabrics and layout quirks.Wire was added to jorts to develop bumpy pipings, while extra-large sports jackets were jazzed up with swallowtail butterflies on the back that were actually encouraged through Kamiya’s ‘kamon,’ or even family members crest, in order that they seemed like updates of sukajan (the silk gift coats well-liked with United States GIs after WWII).
Bombers were imprinted along with the shadows of studded natural leather bikers trompe l’oeil-style, while hoodies as well as denims were actually pre-faded or even gradient-dyed to make sure that they appeared as though they will been run over as well as subjugated behind the road.

For the finale, a big truck covered in a rainbow of flashing lightings (an Oriental phenomenon referred to as dekotora, or even “decoration vehicle”) steered to the head of the path to serve as the backdrop. After the program, crowds of well-dressed supporters crowded the truck to present for photos. Kamiya grinned from the side projects.
“That is actually fashion right there,” he said.
