TOGA

TOGA is Japanese designer Yasuko Furuta. Her fall 08 collection has an ecclectic mix of frabics and silhouettes. From baggy men's suits to cute skirts and military-esque tops to interesting little leather numbers, Furuta is never afraid of multiple layers of fabric, building her silhouettes up to what would usually be considered frumpy. However, by adding an accentuated waist or an innovated use of pleats, it allows the clothes to fit well and still maintain a loose, relaxed look, which I am all for.
