Japanese design first made a real impression on the fashion world in 1982, when 12 designers showed their collections in Paris at the pret-a-porter (ready-to-wear) shows.
The ''mode Japonaise'' or ''Japonaiserie'' look is characterized by inventive shapes and monochrome tones, particularly the use of black.
Of the designers shown on the site, Maruyama Keita seems to use traditional Oriental motifs most extensively.
