The merger of dual sides of Junya Watanabe’s aesthetic range — street and high concept — resulted in a fantastic collection.

Minimalism, Matisse and Donald Judd, according to designer Frédérique Gagnon.

Jun Takahashi’s collection was an ode to jazz, with patterns inspired by notes and instruments or actual record covers.

The designer seized on the Eighties, which has come roaring back in fashion, and he did not edit out the garish bits.

Yoshiyuki Miyamae used a new heat-bonding technique to create geometric patterns on the outfits.

Alessandra Rich dedicated her cleverly chic spring collection to the art of bad taste, naming it “Misstake.”

Here was one of the designer’s most ravishing collections in years, captivating with its drifting silk, trailing ribbons and delicious tropical colors.

Yohji Yamamoto’s spring collection was full of asymmetrical cuts, jackets missing sleeves and even some trends.

Alix Petit’s collection was an unusual cross between flounces of girly romanticism and fluorescent street style with an Eighties feel.

October’s “Golden Week” shopping season won’t help much either, according to retail association.

Channeling an 18th-century punk spirit, Andrew Gn dressed his ladies in denim for the first time.

Cohosts included Miroslava Duma, Carine Roitfeld, Irina Shayk and Natasha Poly.
