Tokyo Remote Collection
New York Fashion Week
A Live Runway Show in Springfield, Broadcast to Japan During NYFW
In September 2025, during New York Fashion Week, a runway show took place at the Hope Center for the Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts and was broadcast live to an audience in Japan. The collection was JUS10H. The format was a Tokyo Remote show, a live fashion event designed to cross the distance between two fashion cultures in real time. What the Tokyo audience saw on screen was what was happening on the floor in Springfield, as it happened.
The Collection: Denim, Patchwork, and the Strength of Abundance
The Tokyo Remote collection is maximalist without being chaotic. It is a collection that has thought carefully about abundance and decided abundance is the right answer.
Denim is the foundation. It appears in nearly every look in multiple forms: floor-length coats, open jackets, structured skirts, jumpsuits, overshirts. The fabric moves across the collection the way a recurring motif moves through a jazz composition. You recognize it every time it returns, but it never reads quite the same twice.
The patchwork is intricate and mosaic-like. Small geometric tiles in multiple colors, greens, oranges, blues, and reds, applied to garments with a precision that reads as handcrafted even at a distance. Against the more restrained base fabrics, the patches function the way a well-placed phrase functions in a sentence. They are the thing your eye goes to first.
The cast is wide and intentional. A full range of body types, ages, genders, and backgrounds, each styled with equal care and equal presence. The collection does not have a muse. It has a community.
The makeup is theatrical and unified. Heavy black liner, dark lips, a dramatic eye that feels more street than stage. It adds an edge that keeps the collection from feeling precious despite its obvious craftsmanship. The footwear earns its place. Platform boots with hardware, chunky soles, patent finishes. These are not shoes chosen to disappear.
Backstage, On Camera, and in Control of the Runway
Behind the scenes, the production required more than a photographer. The lookbook was shot backstage before each model walked, which meant building and running a set in the same space where the show was being staged. The pace of the runway itself was controlled from that set, each model held and released at the right moment to keep the show moving as it was being broadcast live to Japan.
The backstage footage was recorded throughout. After the show, that footage was edited together with the livestream recording into a split screen video, placing the lookbook shoot and the runway walk side by side. The result was a document of both sides of the show at once, what the audience in Japan saw on screen and what was happening behind it.
Fashion show photography, runway production, lookbook photography, and post-production video editing. One show. One team. One day.
Work With a Fashion Photographer and Producer Who Can Handle the Full Picture
If you are a designer, brand, or boutique looking for someone who can manage a lookbook shoot, support a live runway event, and produce the content that comes after, this is what that looks like in practice. The work does not stop when the show ends.
Work like this starts with a conversation.
