JAPAN FASHION WEEK CANCELLED.
Japan Fashion Week has unsurprisingly been canceled following the disastrous events in the country, Women’s Wear Daily reports. The event was supposed to take place next week, but several brands had already called off their shows or postponed indefinitely.
A statement on the Fashion Week website reads as follows:
Our heartfelt regrets go to those individuals who were affected by the disaster of the Eastern Japan Earthquake.Due to the multiple concerns regarding current electricity shortages, unreliable transportation, and general safety concerns, the “Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo” that was scheduled to take place this week and next week has been cancelled.
Consequently, the Tokyo Collection Week that was scheduled to take place next week has also been cancelled. Fashion companies work hard to maintain and expand their business connections, and JFW considers it its duty to support their efforts. Since conditions in each of their source areas vary greatly so does their rate of production. However, despite these difficult times, we will continue to try our best to obtain the products we can so that we may put together exhibitions to showcase them.
JFW will take these necessary measures and organize exhibitions by communicating closely with each company to determine a concrete support strategy that may be put it into effect. Regarding the contents of the collection, we also intend to make the collection available on the web as a means to not only provide more opportunities for business connections but also so that it may act as a source for information. For more details, please check our JFW’s official website.
Despite this unprecedented national disaster, we will do whatever we can to keep the business flame burning in order to promote new fashion business, and we deeply appreciate your understanding and support.

MARILYN MONROE
Marilyn Monroe was an inspirational figure to all women in her time. She was even the inspiration to my name and for this reason ever so often, I like to celebrate her. Marilyn Monroe changed the rules of fashion and what was an acceptable size for models in her time. If she was alive and well today, she would be happy to know that women her size now a days aren’t frowned upon, instead they are seen as beautiful. Let’s be proud of our curves ladies and flaunt them as the sex symbols that we are. 😉
NICOLE RICHIE ^_*
Nicole Richie is one of my fashion icons. I love her carefree cool sense of style. She always seems to look very put together without any effort. Even after being a mommy to two beautiful babies she still manages to dress in her own style as she’s always done. So for all you mommies that feel you have lost you style since the kids – she’s your inspiration to gain it back. LOVE Nicole Richie. 🙂
WEIRD & BEAUTIFUL?!
IN HER COUNTRY, HER FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES ARE A SIGN OF BEAUTY. AND ALTHOUGH, SHE IS IN FACT VERY BEAUTIFUL, CAN WE WEAR SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE STREETS OF NYC WITHOUT GETTING ANY STARES ? I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE.
IN A PLACE WHERE WOMAN WON’T GO A WEEK WITHOUT PLUCKING THEIR EYEBROWS DO YOU THINK WE WOULD GIVE THAT UP AND NEVER PLUCK THEM AGAIN?? I DON’T THINK I CAN 😉 CAN YOU?
