Featuring 10 of Japan’s most cutting-edge fashion designers, a new exhibition in Tokyo has just opened. “Feel and Think: A New Era of Tokyo Fashion,” now on display through Christmas (details below), is a dynamic investigation into the contemporary Tokyo fashion scene through the unique lens of an equally unique group of designers.

The exhibition space was designed by architect Ryuji Nakamura, who decided to compartmentalize the different works not by walls but by steel pillars strategically placed at eye-level. The thick white lines create an almost artificial boundary between the different spaces and also force visitors to exert a certain amount of physicality in order to proceed through the exhibit.
