Toga Plays With Silhouttes For Fall 2011

Even though Japan Fashion Week was canceled due to the earthquake last month, designers have come together in Tokyo to showcase their Fall collections. Toga was one of the standouts with their play on silhouettes by creating fullness in the hips and arms while pulling back in the shoulders and waist. Combining angular edge with soft, flowing femininity, Toga created a futuristic look with hints of 40s, 60, and 80s. I know that doesn't sound like it would go together on paper but visually it makes for a beautifully well rounded collection of garments. What I love the most about this collection is the small ethnic inspired detailing in the tights and tops. Also the hint of bows which generally is not my thing but in this case it is feminine yet doesn't create a juvenile look.
