The annual Japan Fashion Week was cancelled because of the series of unfortunate events that have happened in Japan. This year’s fashion week was supposed to take place from March 21^st to 25^th. It should have showcased the fall and winter collections of 2011. However, the domino events of the earthquake and tsunami has canceled the runway shows.

Although Tokyo, the fashion capital of Asia, is not directly affected; buildings and factories which also include couture houses were shut down due to the fear of diminishing the electrical supply and for the very likely black-outs. There’s also the issue of fear and transportation problems. There will surely be a low number of attendees if the Fashion Week was pushed through. Furthermore, Japan is not on the verge of recuperating hence they are putting the Fashion Week as the least of their concerns right now.

Instead of gearing up to continue the fashion shows in Tokyo, designers’ efforts were geared towards helping others in big ways. Uniqlo, a clothing brand, has reportedly donated $25.6 million in cash and clothes to Japanese Red Cross Society, with almost half the money coming from the CEO. While designers and other fashion fans are helping in some big ways as well.

But fashion continues to live despite the calamity. Japanese designers and producers will post their Fall/Winter 2011 collections via web or other informal ways of presenting them to the buyers worldwide.

Every business in Japan has been crippled in some way by the natural disaster and that includes the fashion industry. Aside from the cancellation of the Fashion shows, there are also textile factories, fashion houses and stores which are shut down.

The 37-year-old supermodel Kate Moss strut the catwalk while smoking in her long-awaited return in Louis Vuitton’s show during the finale of Fashion Week. She may be almost 40 but she’s still a stunning controversial queen of the runway.

The daily mail reported that Moss ignored the No Smoking Day to indulge in her habit. Though she is trying to quit smoking, she wowed the audience by puffing cigarette while doing the catwalk. Smoking, as we all know has been banned in public places, however, no one really minded. The Fashion Week isn’t a public occurrence. It’s one of the most exclusive events in France. Besides, no one really qualmed about lady gaga doing it last week at the Mugler show. The overall gesture actually resulted into a perfect ending to a fetish-themed collection headed by designer Marc Jacobs.

Kate moss has reportedly been attending sessions to bring her nicotine habits to an end. Together with her fiancé, Jamie Hince, she is trying hypnotism as a means to quit smoking. They are desperate to kick the butt because they are trying for a baby.

Both are attending hypnosis session at Harley Street, London as reported by the Sun. She smoked when she was pregnant with her 8-year-old daughter. However, it was said that she cut her puffs from 30 to 15 sticks a day since the doctor told her that it could cause complications with her pregnancy.

Now, with her Fiance Jamie Hince, she has her wedding date as a final target. She badly wants a baby as soon as possible.
