Tokyo Girls Collection A/W 2011

starting off with a bang... Tokyo Girls Collection A/W 2011 report!

what is TGC? approx 6+ hours of fashion shows, booths, music, etc

for this season it was in Saitama (can you still call it "Tokyo GC" if it's not in Tokyo?)


over 200 pictures ahead 




mah ticket from family mart


the journey to saitama nears its end

SUPER ARENA 



i was in the cheap seats, so apologies for some poor quality photos (plus photos weren't allowed so i had to be sneaky. it was all for you babes)


the theme for this season was 'Smile for [ ]'
in the booklet Super Arena was renamed Smile Area
for the opening, a video about the recent disaster was played
and the message to send a smile to the stricken area
the models said what they smile for (family, friend, everyday, you, etc) with a short explanation
a lot of the models seem to be half or Japanese mix, there were definitely some who were native english speakers
then some crazy lights and shit got started


The Night Porter
a "mix styling" of higher end brands (moussy, mcq, boy, etc)
lots of black, spangle, fur, military


The MCs
don't really know who they are. the male host did some creepin on the models/female guests


Ozoc
Ozoc had a special message from Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast


One Spo
 
 
One Spo showed their fall/winter look of military, fur, black, white, tartan, russian
the 109 store is having a renewal this month
Anna was the first model out, shame the pics turned out so blurry but she was damn fierce. ilu Anna


Vence Exchange
Vence had some fairly basic pieces, but showing fall trends
fur, tartan, black, the ever standard leopard
they killed my eardrums with Linkin Park though :(


Cecil McBee
oh shit who's behind that flag???
motherfucking seikei princess TSUBASA
Cecil McBee is a lower price point that most other gyaru brands (pieces are at least 1000-2000y cheaper on average) and they cover just about all trends and styles. probably why they're the best selling store at 109!


DJ Kaori x OWNDAYS
OMG FUCK YEAH HARUNA AI
OWNDAYS is a glasses brand. Music performance with special guest "new half" Haruna Ai


at this point i went to go derp around the booths and stuff, so here's what i missed
live
beams, lovedrose&co, urban research, aquagirl
essentials (the hair products)
aeon
another live
serene dept

another damn live
tgc charity auction

booths weren't as interesting as S/S, less freebies at least :( boo
there was one that did hair/makeup, but i was wiggin and sweaty (this being eco energy saving stuff is killing me)
did take a photo with Momoko when she was at the Murua booth, but of course i look a whale next to her tiny self
got the new Murua iphone cover... yanno for whenever dinosaur me gets an iphone
sampled an "alcohol-free" cocktail, isn't it no longer a cocktail then? there were signs for only 20 and up though. but no alcohol? no comprende 
bought some snacks
filmed for Kawaii TV and Fashion TV, sure i look awkward as fuck
how can i not look stupid/awkward/whale-esque in photos and video? sigh


H&M

god Momoko is fabulous ;__;


Drama
there was a short preview of a new drama. can't remember the name exactly, something something Life of Mirei Shiritori? looks entertaining


it was getting pretty late by this point, i was tired, and takes about an hour to get home from Saitama, so i called it a night
missed American Apparel, yet another live, Beauty Bar Keita Maruyama, and the finale

overall fashion points for fall: fur, tartan, boots/booties, colored bottoms, wavy hair, hats (floppy and bowler), pearls, statement bags
