On Tuesday, October 18th, Japanese label HEADL_INER showcased their 2012 Spring/Summer collection on the runway at roomsLINK at belle salle SHIBUYA FIRST.
Roberto Yoshida was born in Okinawa, Japan in 1978. He was one of the founders of the popular Japanese streetwear brand Roen. In 2010, Yoshida left Roen and created his collection brand HEADL_INER.
The HEADL_INER 2012 S/S Collection shown at Japan Fashion Week had the theme of “INSULARHYTHM”. The designer – born in Okinawa himself – was influenced by Okinawa’s island spirit and boldness. The outfits prominently featured leopard prints, leather, and denim. The models who walked in the first part of the show wore boots with feathers attached. Towards the end of the show, another collection was shown which was a collaboration with well-known Japanese motorcycle racer Shinya Nakano. That collection sought to mix fashion and motorsports.
