Like other developed countries most Japanese fashion houses are in its capital Tokyo. The Japanese look is loose and unstructured (often resulting from complicated cutting), colours tend to the 
sombre and subtle, and richly textured fabrics. Famous Japanese designers are Yohji Yamamoto, Kenzo, Issey Miyake (masterful drape and cut), and Comme des Garçons ‘s Rei Kawakubo, who developed a new way of cutting (comparable to Madeleine Vionnet’s innovation in the 1930s).
