Fide Fashion Week: Japan Couture Evening (Part 4)


Yumi Katsura
















Yumi Katsura's show was the last and also the longest. The beginning of the show displayed oriental designs with heavy influences of Japanese culture and also her iconic couture wedding dresses. Although the dresses were gorgeous, I have to admit that I grew a little restless and wanted more variety. Thankfully, the collection had a twist that saved me from bordem. 
I'd like to call them the White Swan and Black Swan gown because they look so regal and elegant that surely it has to be! My curiousity and excitement was piqued when we saw what Tiara called, "Cinderella and her evil stepsisters". "Cinderella" has this simple big gown made of wires and I thought it looked quite uncomfortable. However, the real highlight of the show was revealed when the lights were turned off and we were basked in darkness. 
There in the centre of the catwalk, the dresses were lit up by a thousand wires and the scene was so magnificent that all I could hear was the satisfying chorus of gasps, including "Oh!" and "Wow!" and "Oh My God!".
My exclamation was an unglamourous combination of three. Now, Katsura's spectacular ending was all the talk as we filed out into the cocktail reception and her show was undoubtedly the most exciting of the night!
