On Monday, March 19th, Japanese label Kamishima Chinami showcased their 2012 Autumn/Winter collection on the runway at Tokyo Midtown.

Chinami Kamishima is a graduate of Esmod Japon Fashion College. After graduating, she traveled abroad and was inspired by her experiences. She launched Kamishima Chinami in 1998, and showed her first collection at 2002 Spring/Summer Tokyo Collection.

The label’s designs are inspired by nature. Most of the color-dying for her collections is done by hand in a shop within her studio.

The theme of the Kamishima Chinami 2012-13 Autumn/Winter show presented at Tokyo Fashion Week was “Winter Forest”. The womenswear collection featured several pieces with bold graphics. This designer is know for extremely high quality (often hand made) and detailed pieces, and this collection followed that tradition.
