New Photos
Last month launched the newcomer D.TT.K Harajuku, without a hint of public relations and promotion, and yet he still managed to attract the attention of Tokyo, judging by the star-studded opening packed clientele.
"No, I'm not going to show at Fashion Week," said designer Benedetto K, laughing. "My style comes from the underground music scene, and it should stay there."
Detto K knows all about the nature of the off-the-radar appeal. As a designer and artist with no formal training, he was known for its leading presence in the streets of Tokyo's fashion scene. He learned everything you need to produce its own brand by working sweets select a store in Shibuya, is known internationally for dressing Lady Gaga.
The unorthodox approach has borne fruit - Detto hip-hop-meets-haute-couture collection is free of stereotypes and packed with fresh keys. His design approach, the creation of clothes, he feels be representative of Tokyo street style. In the heart of the current number of unconventional use of latex mat.
"I was not overly fetish," said Benedetto K, "So I left the rubber mat and fluffy."
Staff up shop at Designer is not a new phenomenon in Tokyo, especially in the world of Shibuya girls 109 brands, where the staff are sometimes successful flagship "producer" positions funded. Increase D.TT.K's, but based on a real talent that the industry would do well to look to the future.

Behold Fashion's Loveliest Homes, as Seen in Shelter Books
Ah, Fashion Week. If you live in New York right now, that means: spectacular people roaming at large, a dose of dangerous illegal
activity, manic store openings, and, of course, the shows themselves. That's a lot of excitement for one seven-day period. Where do
the industry's major players catch up on their beauty sleep once it's all over? In really stunning homes, apparently! Thankfully,
Elledecor.com aggregated the magazine's past coverage of fashion designers' homes into a dedicated page—it's so stocked with house
porn that it'll be nearly impossible to get through before the shows are over—and Architectural Digest has devoted its October
2012 issue to the very same cause. Above, the best of the best.

Victoria Beckham Fashion Show Featured Flats, David Beckham In Attendance
NEW YORK -- Victoria Beckham must put her touch on everything to do with her New York Fashion Week show. It not only ends up
looking like her signature pulled-together, well-edited style, but it feels like her, too.
She's the thoughtful hostess with waiters offering morning juice to the crowd coming early Sunday to the New York Public Library,
but she keeps the guest list very tight.
She's one of the biggest draws on the calendar of seasonal previews, but there's no frenzy of paparazzi photographers. (Husband
David Beckham, however, did take some photos from his seat.)
The music is loud enough to be heard, but it's far from thumping. Beckham gives the crowd a brief bow, but doesn't linger.
And she's gracious to her backstage well-wishers, but there's a time limit.
No detail is overlooked, and that goes for the clothes, too. Beckham said she checks – or doublechecks – every look to make sure
"it looks good from every angle."
The clothes for spring had a delicacy that she said was new for her this season, although the clothes remained substantial and
structured. It was the touch of illusion lace, the lingerie bra top or hemline of pleated chiffon that took the edge off banded
short skirts, zip-back sheaths and shirtdresses.
The lingerie influences built on her knowledge of corsetry and fell naturally into the collection, Beckham explained after the
show. "It's the first time I've gone so delicate, but I wanted the design elements."
She opened the show with a black slip-style sundress that she said was among her favorite looks.
There were more pants, all cut slim, than she typically offers but, she said, "they really look like my signature dresses, but
they're trousers."
As retailers, editors and stylists have seen this round of previews, black and white are dominant forces. Beckham used a poppy red
as her bold contrast color. She was more interested in texture than crazy colors, she said, noting the black dress she was wearing,
which mixed canvas, georgette, lace and chiffon.
"I want to design what I want to wear," she said.

Microsoft Trendwatching: Fashion and Technology
As you may know from my earlier posts this week, I’m in New York at Fashion Week. Yes, I know. I stick out like a sore thumb in the
land of six foot beautiful people but these are the sacrifices I make to bring this blog to you.
I’m here exploring the convergence of fashion and technology – something I’ve occasionally touched on here and you should expect to
see more of over the coming months. Externally we’re seeing lots of examples of this trend - especially in the sports industry. LeBron
James’ new Nike sneakers feature sensors that tell you how high you’re jumping. UnderArmour’s Biometric Compression shirt tracks
performance indicators like heart rate and body position and Adidas launched their adizero f50 miCoach recently and called them “boot
with a brain.
But we’re seeing this trend play out in many other ways too. Technology is increasingly a fashion statement so watches, keyboards,
mice, smartphones and more allow us to express our fashion sense (or lack of it). Brands such as Nike are adding more and more
technology to their lineup and integrating with technology companies such as Microsoft to deliver titles such as Nike+ Kinect Training.
Yet more companies are taking the Kinect technology in the form of Kinect for Windows to deliver breakthrough retail experiences such
as the Swivel is a virtual dressing room from FaceCake built on Windows Embedded. I wrote about another amazing Kinect project recently
from SecondStory and asked whether it could be the future of retail windows. Companies such as Industrial Color are using our
PixelSense technology with the Samsung SUR40 to deliver a breakthrough digital light table to fashion companies in the form of
GlobalEdit.
As you may expect, we have researchers exploring the field of wearable computing too and past projects on this blog have included the
Microsoft Printing Dress, the Wearable Multitouch Projector and PocketTouch. All of these projects look over the horizon at what the
next few years of fashion and tech may look like and while they’re not going to be on store shelves, they do help us push the
boundaries of this trend and explore not only the technology implications but the social implications.
Back to this week though and New York specifically.
We’ve teamed up with Bloomingdale’s — a brand synonymous with fashion — to bring the intersection of fashion and technology to life
for consumers. In fact the Microsoft Printing Dress has had pride of place between Chanel and Armani in the Bloomingdale’s 59th Street
store. If you’re in the neighborhood stop by and send a tweet with the hashtag #MSBLOOMINGDALES to have it appear on the dress.
The Swivel virtual dressing room experience is also featured in the 59th Street store and 19 other Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide.
You’ll be able to try on all manner of outfits, including the Printing Dress.
Of course, the way most people interact with technology today is via the devices they use. Along with our partners, we’re continuing
to offer the widest choice possible in the world of PCs as people seek to express the own style. The PCs on the market today and the
wave of new PCs arriving with Windows 8 will continue that self-expression. For me, that may mean the new Sony VAIO Duo 11.
It doesn’t stop with the PC though and just as we accessorize our outfits, we accessorize our PCs with important technology such as
mice and keyboards. I use the Arc Touch Mouse with my PC and the new Wedge Touch Mouse and Wedge Mobile Keyboard with my Windows 8
tablet. The latter two devices are stunning works of industrial design and the Arc Touch Mouse is now on sale at select Bloomingdale’s
stores nationwide – when did you last see such a stylish mouse being offered alongside the latest fashions?
In summary, this trend is playing out in many ways and Microsoft’s involvement spans many angles. We build and sell products such as
mice, keyboards and soon Surface. We build platforms such as Kinect for Windows on which others create amazing innovations. In
Microsoft Research we look over the horizon at how this trend may play out and what role we’ll play. Part of my role is to help join
the dots between these activities so expect much more on this trend over the coming months.

Fashion's Night Out Freeloaders: An Evening With The Booze Vultures
Do Rihanna techno remixes, drunk teenagers in neon lipstick, honking taxis nearly running them over and 45-minute long lines to get
into stores make you want to go shopping?
If not, be glad you missed Fashion's Night Out, the shopping event designed to make regular people spend money by giving them access to
the exclusive world of Fashion Week for one night. The Huffington Post went to ask some of the thousands of attendees in New York City
what their motives were for attending an event most city inhabitants describe as a "clusterfuck."
"We're following around the booze," said Shannon Baum, a recent graduate, while sipping on a glass of white wine in an empty-ish store
on Wooster Street in SoHo. "I heard they have champagne at the Marc Jacobs party," said her boyfriend Rob. "Maybe we'll go there next."
Free stuff was by far the most popular answer. "I doubt I'll buy anything tonight," said Miranda Meyerson, a teacher, while munching on
free food truck dumplings outside of Kate Spade. "But it's a fun scene. I'll probably not have to eat dinner."
Indeed, for every person with a shopping bag, there were thirty more double fisting plastic glasses of free mystery cocktails or
craning their necks to glimpse the occasional reality TV star. Around 9 p.m., as thick layers of makeup started to sweat away, the
towering platform shoes coated with studs and spikes also came off by the dozen. They were replaced by flip-flops -- or, for the truly
drunk, bare feet. Kevin Sulzer, 20, of Long Island, felt daring enough to try on his friend Emily's five-inch platform boots. "We
always wanted to be on a style blog!" he gushed when I snapped a photo.
Three years ago, when Fashion's Night Out was launched by Vogue US Editor Anna Wintour, brands hoped that it would balance out some of
the extravagant costs of fashion week runway shows and parties by getting normal people out shopping. In its ideal form, the night also
addressed a weird paradox of the industry's exclusivity -- the fact that brands need the ladies from Long Island to stay afloat and
that cool kids who attend insider events rarely cough up for full-price fashion.
But last night, the majority of the people wandering around SoHo appeared to be under the age of 20 -- not exactly a high-rolling
demographic. "I definitely didn't come with the intention to shop," said Vanessa Flores, 19, a student. Her friend Joseph Boose, 25,
echoed the sentiment. "I would maybe have bought something, except payday is tomorrow," he said. "That's pretty dumb of them."
Fashion's Night Out now spans 19 countries, and despite the general consensus in New York that retailers rarely make money off of their
events, there were 900 participating stores in the city this year. Some events had little to do with fashion -- at points, the night
felt less like a celebration of shopping than a chaotic incubator for any sort of corporate marketing experiment, from Ford Fusion
promotions to Vitamin Water trucks.
Meanwhile, some fashion brands made their events a bit less open to the hoards of tourists and teens, enforcing dress codes, creating
separate VIP lines and offering snacks only after guests had purchased something. Perhaps for this reason alone, the circus wasn't
completely without a lacquer of glamour. Where models or celebrities were slated to appear, long lines wrapped around the block.
"I know it sounds corny, but it's weirdly empowering to be in the same room as someone like Karlie Kloss," said Katherin Son, 24, who
waited in line for 45 minutes at the newly-opened Piperlime store where stylist and designer Rachel Zoe would appear. "It makes me feel
like these people are real and that I'm a part of this world."
