I’m back giving you the sweetest fashion and designers and shows on the planet, and we’re still looking to Japan. This list come a day before the finale on Friday, I’ve picked some brands worth highlighting.Some good, bad or ugly, so it was only befitting that I made the list as such. See below:

the good
matohu


I like the clean and relaxed naturalness of this line.

YLANG YLANG


The diverse use of different fabrics make the line pop out, but the designs keep it focused on elegance.

LILITH
I think this was a very good showing, I loved the flare skirts and pin pants, I’m very much into anything Safari, and thats going to be a big trend for Summer 07!

HIROKO KOSHINO


A little bit futureistic but also a little bit retro, Star Trek meets Marie Antoinette. I love it!

ato


I the color leggings are going to be a popular trend summer 07 as well.

the bad

YUMA KOSHINO

doho

SOMARTA

I could see Beyonce performing in one of these outfits but ordinary people wearing it on 7th Avenue NYC, I don’t think so, but great performance pieces.

Né-net


I Love the Red Riding hood capes!

the ugly

GUT’S DYNAMITE CABARETS


Amm, these guys are so much fun! I think they are the Japanese answer to Heatherette.

I was out last night to Pulse’s Premiere showing of designers from the Caribbean Fashion Week (CFW) and a Concert that included such top-notch artists like Shaggy, Beenie Man, Spragga Benz, Richie Spice and the undisputed don gorgan Ninja Man, all kept the crowd happy, pump up and musically inclined to the best of the best.

I’m a little hung over and I’ll be publishing a more detailed post later with tons of pictures…

But to wet your appetites, so you know what to expect the next two nights, Friday and Sunday, here are a few pics.

Tory Burch filed an infringement suit against all those knock off ballet makers with shoes that kind of look like the Tory Burch’s Reva ballet flat trademark: Wanted Stores Inc., Orva Stores and A&E Stores Inc.

I understand property rights all too well, but come on it’s not like the other companies made ballets exactly like Tory’s, they just look a lot of alike, right? I mean I don’t see brands like Chloe or LeSportsac suing everyone that makes a knock off Paddington or Canvas bag. Or should they?

So before they pull them off the shelves, because lets not kid ourselves we all love a good looking bargain, here are some places to get them…

Real$195.00

look-alike$39.98 available at LoveMyShoes.com
