From New York to London to Tokyo, the darkness is upon us and it is looking good. Decaying flowers, abstract black and white washes, death metal. And by the way, in the Japanese spread: girl second from left looks a lot like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist."

It's become a bit of a cliché to say that the quality of design in Japan is very high. But clichés exist for a reason, and these photos from Japan's fashion week confirm it once again. Every outfit looked just right; wearable, but interesting, new but familiar, impeccably conceived and executed, but with soft edges. Very inspirational!


Shimmer & Shine

Dress by Reem Acra, suit by Nathan Jenden, dress by Barbara Bui, jumpsuit by Richard Nicoll.

Iceberg's metal mini, Gucci sequin leggings, dress by Balmain, dress by Marc Jacobs.

Sparkles and sequins are making waves long before New Year's this year. From lame jumpsuits to metallic leggings to reflective gowns, it's a gold rush!
