Consider this week to be a fully packed fashion week — but not in Cebu but in neighboring Asian country, Japan as Japan Fashion Week 2010 will run from March 13 to the end of the month. The first collection to be shown is of Kobe Collection 2010 Spring/Summer and ends with a grand Japan Fashion Week Fair at the Takashimaya department store in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Asia’s new fashion designers and award winners of the New Designer Fashion Grand Prix will appear together on the said affair to bring once more the city’s passion for Tokyo’s fashion, the industry and its interchanges with Asian cities. On their second year, the institution has invited 9 designers from 9 Asian countries and regions and 4 designers from Japan from the New Designer Fashion Grand Prix. One of them is Cebu fashion designer Edwin Ao who has been chosen among Philippine’s uber talented designers to represent the Philippines in Japan Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2010.

So exciting this is for Cebu and the rest of the Philippines! Although Japan Fashion Week is somehow an industry-only driven event, some of the features to look forward to is the exhibition displaying the last 50 years of fashion through High Fashion magazine, as well as the flea market that will feature well-known names from the industry.

Congrats, Edwin Ao, you have done Cebu proud!
