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

Atsushi Nakashima is a graduate of Nagoya Fashion College. In 2004, he moved to Paris, where Jean Paul Gaultier scouted him and made himhis assitant. He returned to Japan in 2011 to start a women’s line.

Atsushi Nakashima Autumn/Winter 2012-13 collection presented at Japan fashion week showcased womenswear in mostly subdued hues with several flourishes of bright color. The the most exceptional pieces featured 3D designs and geometrical adornments, some of which reminded us of British designer Sophie Hulme’s “armour” recent collections.

    The outfits are innovative and sharp with a geometric appeal which I’m personally not very fond of but it works well for most of the outfits.

    However.. I am deeply averted by the models!! Their bone-sticks legs, their sunken faces with protruding jaw and cheek bones. How can the fashion industry keep advocating this? This is not only nonaesthetic, but is a danger to these women that they can barely avoid. On the runway, this is acceptable.. but what happens when these women go out in real life?

    O woww, I would definitely wear some of those outfits!

    And I agree with ‘a skeptical woman’ regarding the models.
