Soe 2012 S/S Collection

The 2012 S/S edition of Japan Fashion Week (aka Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week) in Tokyo is under way! Several times each day, TokyoFashion.com’s contributors are reporting back from runway shows and events all over town. Be sure to check out all of our Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo coverage.

On Saturday, October 22nd, Japanese label Soe showcased their 2012 Spring/Summer collection via a presentation in the Tokyo Midtown Garden. The show was part of the Versus Tokyo event which featured several popular Japanese streetwear brands.

Soichiro Ito was born in Tokyo in 1977. After high school graduation, he moved to England in 1995. He returned to Japan in 1998 to study economic history at Aoyama Gakuin University. He started making clothes during this time. He debuted his first collection under the name soe in 2001 A/W.

The Soe 2012 S/S collection shown at Japan Fashion Week was titled “Baseball Card” and the show featured models standing out on the grass at Tokyo Midtown Garden. The outfits – at least as presented – all had baseball elements to them, including vertical stripes, sports socks, cropped pants, and even a literal baseball cap.
