Bad news: MEKAS. on hiatus indefinitely. Thanks for reading!

Did everyone enjoy our non-photo, only Twitter coverage of Japan Fashion Week? Really, who needs pictures of clothing to understand fashion?

You ever noticed that Japan is expensive?

Popteen publisher Kadogawa going to be launching a "big sister" title to Popteen on April 17 called PopSister. Gyaru takeover continues.

Han Ahn Soon: Bulgarian rose motifs, Mexican festival attire, bohemian as Bohemian

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Han Ahn Soon: every designer must have one piece in mustard yellow

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Han Ahn Soon: from my notes "glittery tweed folk fur-lined snow jacket with little snow pompoms"

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Han Ahn Soon: a combination of Eastern European folk dresses and sexy runway style — apparently in homage to It's a Small World After All

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Han Ahn Soon: forget all that post-apocalyptic charred-animal black! light colors for autumn/winter!

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Han Ahn Soon: I will lose hipster cred for this, but I totally love Han Ahn Soon in that she is so in touch with "real" Tokyo girls' fashion

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Somarta: amazing purple paisley duffel coat, everything slightly bohemian in a romantic opium dream about "ancient times" kind of way

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Somarta: not all black. also dark maroon!

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Somarta: models with golden jaws plus pieces of medieval military armor made the women look like the elite of an invading alien civilization

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Somarta: maybe the best I have seen in terms of quality and craftsmanship of the pieces, really beautiful jackets with elaborate patterns

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Sorry for the non-live Twittering, but here goes yesterday...

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Hisui: low gauge knit shorts! I would love to see these in real life

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Hisui: I enjoyed the "ostrich" skirt, which looks exactly how I am describing it, there was also a turtleshell jacket, faux-fur on dresses

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Hisui: models literally sprinted around the winding Laforet runway to the pulse of late '90s breakbeats

[The Editors of MEKAS @MEKAS]

Hisui: designer sold out and went "all mainstream" this year, in that the pieces were pretty bold, sexy, and wearable; last year was "bones"
