Hey!

Did you ever wonder what the calendar of
ALL WORLDWIDE FASHION WEEKS looks like?

So did we! And then we tried to shoot ourselves! : )

World Fashion Week Calendar:

"Tokyo" is pronounced with an elongated vowel, like "To-KYOOO." They do it like that so you can really savor it.

They have stuff in Japan like food, which consists of quaint local dishes that are almost unheard of in the U.S., like "sushi," "ramen," "teriyaki," and other even lesser-known stuff like hamburgers and pizza. Although in most "Little Tokyo"s around the globe you can get dishes like yakitori, shabu shabu, tokyo-style curry and things spelled only in hiragana, you may have to hunt for these when in Japan. Either way, be sure to make a restaurant reservation, so you don't have to rudely shove some Japanese family out of an occupied table, which they will accept with smiles and bowing, following the ancient custom of Japanese tatemae (建前?), which means "gritting of teeth."

Needless to say, when it comes to fashion, Tokyo is, quite possibly, the unherladed super-king. Street fashion (as captured in places like the Japanese fashion magazine Fruits) has an epic life here, and to live, breathe and be seen is to understand and celebrate fashion. Clothing trends here veer to such an extreme as to blur the line between costuming and daily wear. Just enjoy noticing that pretty much every single person in Tokyo (especially near Harajuku and Shibuya, and maybe Ginza too, we forget) is better and more inventively dressed than you will ever be in your wildest dreams, even if you drink a whole bottle of pickle juice and mayonnaise in an attempt to incur hallucinations, so please don't try that again.
