Tokyo Girls Collection 2011 S/S – Music & Highlights
The 2011 Spring/Summer edition of Tokyo Girls Collection took place on Saturday, March 5th at Yoyogi National Stadium in Harajuku. Over 20,000 young stylish Japanese women stormed the venue for a chance to check out the latest fashion trends, see their favorite celebrities and models, and, of course, to shop! We’ve already posted street snaps of TGC attendees and our massive report on the Tokyo Girls Collection fashion brands, with pics straight from the catwalk. In this third report, we’re going to show you what musical acts were playing at TGC. We’ll also take a look at the special stages and presentations
Alongside the TGC fashion shows – where popular brands showed off their Spring and Summer styles on the catwalk – attendees were treated to live performances by various musical acts. In addition, there were special collaboration shows and even some charity presentations. J-Pop bands are usually the featured entertainment. However, with the South Korean music boom happening in Japan, K-Pop was also on the TGC program this year in a big way. The J-Pop and K-Pop bands in attendance included Exile project J Soul Brothers, J-Pop threepiece w-inds, K-Pop girl group After School, K-Pop boy band 2PM, and Japanese hiphop/rockers Funky Monkey Babys. The non-music TGC special stages included a “Fashionista Contest” presented by Owndays x Look n Girl, the Girls Ribbon charity stage, a wedding hair and fashion show by the Japanese cosmetics brand Essentials, and a special Okinawa-related stage in preparation for an upcoming Tokyo Girls Collection event on the island. There were also a couple of special collaboration fashion shows – one featuring the J-Pop band W-inds alongside Japanese fashion brand Cecil McBee, and the other featuring K-Pop act After School modeling pieces by the Japanese fashion brand Lovedrose. And of course, to end the evening, we were treated to the famous Tokyo Girls Collection grand finale – where hundreds of Japanese models and celebrities crowd the stage and take bows for the still-cheering crowd! Check out all of our exclusive Tokyo Girls Collection pictures below and let us know what you think. As always, you can click on any of the images to see huge high resolution versions. Enjoy!
