The 2012-13 A/W edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo is under way! TokyoFashion.com’s contributors are reporting back from runway shows and events all over town several times each day. Be sure to check out all of our Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo coverage.

On Thursday, March 22nd, Japanese label Motonari Ono showcased their 2012 Autumn/Winter collection on the runway at Tokyo Midtown.

Motonari Ono is a 2002 graduate from Mejiro Design School. He then spent one year at the London College of Fashion Foundation, and enrolled in the Royal College of Fine Art in Antwerp with plans for furthering his education in fashion. These plans were interrupted by a job offer from London-based label Bora Aksu, where he spent two years as chief pattern maker before returning to Tokyo in 2006 to start his eponymous label. He’s best known for his womenswear collection. He was a finalist for the Mango Fashion Award in 2010.

The Motonari Ono 2012-13 Autumn/Winter collection presented at Tokyo Fashion Week used leather as its main textile – from bold leather jackets to leather details on the dresses, shorts, and other pieces.
