Tokyo Girl’s Collection A/W 09
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 | 52 Comments 
I’ve been meaning to mention (in case I hadn’t already, I think I only twittered it weeks ago) but Cher is leading on that this will be their final brand book that will include eco bags as the gift. They say that’s why there’s two bags this time. I came across the official Magazine+Book page and it reminded me. I wanted to share in case anyone was contemplating buying one from amazon.jp or ebay or something.
Official Publishing Page
The Autumn/Winter show took place this Saturday. The most prominent key item was of course thigh high boots. Followed by the continuing trend of 80’s fashion love with black leather and animal print leaking into just about every collection shown.
Dear lord the gun… I blame America for this fashion prop, hahaha 
Lacey or torn black tights/leggings were huge. I already bought some lacey black tights for the upcoming season change. A MUST get!
Looks like there’s a slight trend for working a maxi dress into autumn apparel which is nice if you bought one after this summer’s maxi dress boom! :good:
I just love this outfit! It’s so fun and easy~
Tsubasa looking quite elegant! 
Here’s a nice page of all the model’s who appeared with links to their blogs.

I saw マリエ’s collab with DJ whoever recently, and it was RIDICULOUS, haha.
Hahahah agreed!! It’s pretty bad… I couldn’t look away though! I watched it in its entirety!
She’s carrying a gun ahahah
I wish there was an accessible store for me to get all these clothes :/
Same here. Though I did see a similar fur coat at Forever 21 this weekend plus Free People has a pinstripe long pant jumpsuit but it’s hardly the same~
I did find lacy black tights at Target though! (*not sure where you live though)
Such cute and pretty styles :3
Thigh high is not me-friendly! Haha.
This looks so fierce but cute!
wooow so what brands comprise of tokyo girl fashion show? or is that a brand in itself ?!?!
@___@
these fashion shows are very street approved.
more than ready to wear! haha
Here’s the brands with runway photos:

Nah, TGC is just a show, not a brand. Though they do collaborations like crazy. Like with UNIQLO putting out onepieces and what not to promote the show!
Loving the animal prints! So many years of fur + animal print = tacky and it’s finally looking good! Cute even!
I bet the place to buy the best jackets will be in the children’s sections of your favourite stores!
I’m in love with the ef-de skirt covered in bows. If it’s reasonable I may hunt that down!
Tiny bit disappointed with all the dark colours, A/W does not have to mean dark though I know ‘dark and sexy’ is popular with gyaru now anyway, but thank goodness for LIZ LISA!
I know, there is a pink houndstooth coat by Cecil Mcbee but that’s about it. It was all so… dark! It’s like they made it for Washington DC (everyone here wears black or gray DAILY)
I love the first photo
You did a great job picking out some of the better looks from the show!
tbh, I wasn’t really feeling this year’s A/W :( The S/S one was so much better!
Agreed on the lacey black tights though~ I bought some at Express a couple of weeks ago & can’t wait to wear them!!
AGREEEEEED!! S/S was way better, but it usually always is because they hold the Shibuya Girls Collection then too so at least there’s more color!
The one romper reminds me of a cuter version of this new Rat Pack romper at FP!!

True, true haha~
)
omg I kind of love that romper though!! It would probably be super-long on me though *sigh* I do agree the TGC one is cuter though (but Japanese clothes are always cuter
HHAHA I love the fun they have at these shows - the bags of chips, the coffee …. the rifle…
Love the delicate black dots on the sheer tights - is that Noma? the one with the coffee and chips - I love those! That whole Lowery’s Farm line was my favorite section
Whoa - Nicky Hilton has a line?!
Yup she does and it’s pretty popular there amongst those who love celeb style!
I know this is a little bit off topic, so I apologize ahead of time:
I was recently invited to walk a designer fashion show, and it’s been almost two years since I walked a show. Therefore, I didn’t really pay attention to toning up my arms or stomach or back. Do you know if celluite reducing cream works/ have you used it? I was also wondering if any of your diets or weight loss methods interfere with height growth since I am still in my peak growing years. I noticed there are weight loss green teas at school (I’m an exchange student so I can’t read the nutrition information on the back) but I’m afraid it’ll devour the food I eat from my stomach and suck out the nutritions that are supposed to help me grow taller.
I hope I haven’t completely drowned you with questions! I would really appreciate any advice for weight loss and toning since the show is in less than two months! Thank you!!
I’d recommend trying NIVEA My Silhouette! Gel-Cream. I talked about it here:
http://sushi-cat.net/2009/07/03/sweet-etsy-items/
Nothing will reduce cellulite but this does firm up the skin keeping those areas from being all jiggly. I’ve already bought 2 tubes of it and can tell the difference when I start forgetting to apply it daily! It really makes your skin smooth and soft.
I didn’t do any sort of “crash” diet. I just ate healthier and was careful not to over eat anymore. So no, Eating healthy for your height and weight will NOT cause stunted growth. I’d recommend viewing my entries tagged “diet” to get a better idea of what I did. I just counted calories, stopped snacking on sugary junk foods & instead snacked of fruit and veggies, and voile’ the pounds came off!
Those weight loss green teas, by the way, are just basically laxatives. They’ll give you horrid stomach cramps and keep you on the toilet all night. I wouldn’t recommend them AT ALL.
The only dieting that’ll cause you to stunt your growth is not eating properly (ie starvation. You GOTTA eat!) and using extreme measures like diet pills. Those methods will just make you gain the weight back and harm your body.
Healthy eating and exercise is the only real successful route!
I used livestrong.com to help me choose better foods (like turkey burgers instead of beef hamburgers!) and keep track of how much I was eating so I didn’t over eat and how often I was working out.
Thanks for the information! I’ll definitely at least try the gel-cream. I hope my upper arms won’t ‘jiggle’ when on the catwalk lol, especially since I’m wearing a one-shoulded, no back dress!
Anyways, thanks again!
I saw this Cher issue at my local Japanese bookstore during the weekend. My friend is a fan of the brand, but she’s never bought any of the brand books before.
Do you know what “9 stories” mean? Are they fashion articles?
Thank you! :3
It’s just how they describe the different fashion shoots, they’re not reading articles at all. Just 9 fashion shoots.
Ooh~ I see. Thank you!
mm not a huge fan of those leggings/tights but i do like maxi dresses!
I love boots, leggings, tights…I’m starting to find I like fall fashion almost as much as summer and spring! More layers means more colors!
I love autumn fashion soooooooo much more than summer. Come mid summer it’s like you just gotta wear whatever won’t cause you to overheat & pass out! LOOL
i better cop a Cher mook at kinokuniya the next time i head out, then!
i really like the pinstripe jumpsuit. the bow skirt as well ; sooo adorable !
I want the pretty star maxi dress~ ;__;
I tried looking for that issue of Cher at my local bookstore but it looks like they sold out! D:
Gahhh, I’m gonna have to see if I can get one of the magazines so I can get a Cher bag. I’ve loved the bag ever since I came across your blog (sheesh, that was a few years ago… Creeper alert HAHA!) T_T Must get!
I saw a cropped leopard print jacket with hot pink on the inside at F21! It was sooo cute! I was only there to get clothes for my school uniform so I didn’t pick it up~~ I love the leather trend too!
Only thing I don’t like are torn leggings… they look trashy imo =T Lace leggings are sexy, tho!
I totally almost bought that jacket at F21!! Mike wasn’t crazy about it but now I kinda still want it anyway hahahaha :X
I’m not into the torn legging myself, I just see it as the blatant 80’s callback that it is~
Hm.. my comment got eated. Don’t remember using the less than symbol. Sorry if I did T_T;
Nevermind, it was just lag. *should stop being a noob*
Love animal print and the lace leggings, idk about torn ones though… Kind of dumb. But, I love the starry maxi dress with the jacket. *o*
oooo im waitin for Cher mook too..!! Tokyo Girls are adorable..might b adoptin some of their runway looks~~weee~~ =D
Yeah, I was flipping the issues of Vivi for September and October and they were ALL pretty much leather wear and lots of lace tights! (that’s definitely something I want to get this fall, but I can’t seem to find any good ones so far) =(
Thigh high boots is also another thing I want to get this year, but the thing with thigh high boots is, you gotta match them with either skirts or shorts! And both of those are too cold to wear in the winter unless you LAYER with thick tights underneath and wear a long winter jacket like down to your knees or something. Another thing I find with shorts is that I only have ones that I bought for the summer and they’re a bit TOO short to even be layered. I find it so hard to find winter shorts that are just the right length for layering without having your BUTT sticking out when you sit down or something. D:
The leopard trend is pretty interesting. It reminds me of a onepiece top that I got a year to 2 years ago that I can probably put into use for this up coming fall/winter’s fashion, haha.

I guess things never get old in fashion? There’s this “recycle” process in fashion all the time where we revert fashion back in time, which is also part of the reason why I never give away or donate old clothes anymore because you MIGHT just be able to reuse them again to create a new and total different look than you had before.
That’s a cute and fun onepiece!
tokyo girls collection is really big over in japan, they even have a dress up game heres the site if anyone wants it http://tgc.st/gp/
Hi, can someone help me with getting the last issue of Cher magazine? Or know a english language site I can order from?
You can order it from Kinokuniya’s site, the order form is in English.
Shipping will be about $7 so you can expect it to be about $28 total.

You’re the best, THANKS!!!
ooh i really like the blue/pink coloured cher!
i’ve had these lacey black tights for so long and didn’t feel like wearing them
maybe now is the time to take them out of the bottom of the drawer, haha
OMG I just ordered a cher bag from Ebay, but the white one in medium, I saw this duo 2 but though the white was too lil ): maybe get them later
. Loved Tsu-chan’s outfit. I see the hats & big bows trend came to stay 
hope u r doing good
cuteeeee
danggg! thigh high boots! O_O
Okay a few things…
a) NOOO! CHER GOING AWAY??? ::runs to mitsuwa::
b) that stuff is sooo cute I’m lovinn the 80s punkness as well as the pinstrip jumper thing
c) Okay I saw that “love like this one” last week with DJ whats her face and I was like WHAT? I mean..I didnt know how to feel…it was cute…but I dunno I’ll probably download it anyways…
and I didn’t know it was pronounced MAR-EE-AH…I thought it was marie…like mary-eee..oh wells..
ahhh the clothes are super cute. I have been looking at a bunch of stuff that I want to get for this fall and winter, but I keep telling myself that I don’t need it….yet. I just put it off haha~ i am definitely gonna purchase some boots…i want boots….but not those knee high ones. It’s still extremely hot over here…so i haven’t had an opportunity to wear anything besides shorts and a tshirt haha
I just do not like any part of this 80’s revival. It was bad enough for us the first time round - at least then it was new so we knew no better
Lol @ the gun prop! That’s kind of scary isn’t it? Hehe.
i love the maxi dress with ugg boots!!
yay
and the ribbon skirt
and the first pic
and and
aaaa theyre all so cute!
oh and i got the cher catalogue alreayd
ahh is it that time of year already? LOL
i’ve been so busy moving back to school so I really appreciate the way you summarize the TGC in your blog.
thank you =3
Aw, thanks! I’m glad you enjoy it
I love to wear these clothes in the winter going to work.
Marly
ooh animal print! too bad it’s too cold to wear stuff like that here… : ( going to school on a big campus means a lot of walking outside, SUCKS!
ooh flannel… so bright!
Let’s not forget…SEQUINS.
I went to Gaithersburg looking for a sem-casual dress popped into Charlotte Russe and Forever 21…Lawrd. I felt about ready to watch a drag show. Srsly. And you can’t just throw that stuff into the washer and be on your way. ..
Sequins need to go into the faaaaar back of the closet and stay there. D:
