Tokyo Fashion Week kicked off today and was looking to be a bit better than in previous ‘covid controlled’ seasons. We applied for 27 physical runway shows and recieved 13 invitations, while there were still some ‘no replies’ outstanding.

Of the 4 shows on day 1, the first show replied NG. The second show told us ‘no and only 5 camera slots,’ but we of course showed up and was still able to enter and saw there was a more than 5 photographers in there. For the third show, they didnt reply, but we managed to get in once we found the location. And the fourth show was a big NG, but the PR guy is a douche to begin with (we just went to confirm it), so total for today was 2 of 4 shows.
