We visited the annual Bunka Fashion College open day in Tokyo for their fascinating show produced by students across all courses. Titled Energy Flow, this year’s show was divided into 10 different scenes, inspired by student illustrations. Here we see one of a range of futuristic architectural dresses with metallic geometric cutting and angular constructions.
