Approximately 120 Collection Photos Exhibited from Spring/Summer 2012 to Autumn/Winter 2012



The "Photographers' 'Tokyo Collection'" exhibition focuses on previously unpublished collection photographs captured by the official photographers of "Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week TOKYO." This marks the first time an exhibition will showcase works personally selected by the photographers themselves.

The captivating designs of the clothing, the three-dimensional staging, the fleeting brilliance of models gracing the runwayThe photographers, who continuously capture these moments, are also journalists, observing the collections with a sensibility distinct from that of critics or fashion editors.

These collection photographs, seen through the lens of these photographers, will not only invigorate the fashion industry but also serve to promote Tokyo's collections to the world.
