If any of you fashionistas out there live in the NYC area (or are planning to visit in the next few months), it would be an absolute shame to pass up the amazing FREE exhibit being shown now at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).  The exhibit is titled "Japanese Fashion Now", and is a retrospective on contemporary Japanese fashion, roughly covering the early 80s up to the present moment.

The showcase is chocked full of original, satisfying, and often outrageously ingenious fashion creations from the land of the Rising Sun. Well-known brands and designers such as Comme des Garçons an Yohji Yamamoto are on display here, as well as hip, upcoming (and relatively unknown) talent.
