The Tokyo Design Exchange
Hey everyone,
Am just back from Tokyo-the land of geishas, sushis and cutting edge Japanese designers. As mentioned earlier, I am selected to be in PARCO's young fashion designer zone next year. So am sent on a 6 day design exchange trip to learn the best design practices from the likes of Comme des Garcon, Issey Miyaki and Limi Feu and the branding masters. This trip is organised by Parco, Spring Singapore and Textile and Fashion Federation.
My trip was packed back to back with workshops, trade fair visits and site visits to important flagship stores. It was an eye-opener to learn from the maestros, witness their luxurious tailoring, their creative visual merchandising and their amazing customer service experience! Every designer has created a very strong universe of their own. So am bursting with inspiration. But meanwhile enjoy the pictures below.

Editor of fashion web magazine. As you can see she is sharing some Japanese street fashion trends. Everyone dresses to make a statement on Tokyo's streets!
Snapping away during breaktime. We had 6 workshops packed in a day!
Editor of one of the largest Japanese fashion magazine publisher. They publish female titles that cater from teenagers to mature ladies and she is giving a talk on the Japanese fashion market.

Inspiring Tokyo shops
We were taken on a visit to various themed stores and flagship shops with inspiring visual merchandising and window display. Amazing! I am pretty impressed with their presentation and packaging techniques. Just makes you go goo goo gaga and want to enter the shop even though you dont know what exactly they are selling. Will have to re-arrange my own store after this. :)
The entrance of a jewellery store where every little thing is breathing its branding essence. From the entrance to the presentation to even the uniforms they wore.
Those displayed on the plate are pieces of delectable jewellery. And this place looks more like a chocolate museum.
I didnt know what this shop sells until I step inside. It looks so pretty outside. They sell jewellery!
Lamp Harajaku filled with dainty dresses. My dream shop. I have always wanted a 2 storey shophouse decorated like it was from a storybook. Shall perservere on. It is amazine how young designers there can afford the rents in main shopping belt even when I was told they receive zero support from goverment.
The cashier cum display counter at a hip multi label store called Opening Ceremony there.
Those are actually fitting rooms. Cute isnt it?
The signage of the chocolate shop. Doesnt it look more like a Gucci shop signage to you? Wah..
