The event ran from 2pm until 10pm which in my opinion is incredibly long for an indoor fashion show event but in Tokyo anything goes.

I also met up with German photographer Michael Steinebach and I would like to thank him for taking some of the most amazing photos seen on the TokyoFashion website which some of them I included in this video.
