best FNO so far!

My second FNO Japan takes the cake.

Last year, I spent FNO in New York and while that was beyond exciting, it was too spread out to be able to do everything I wanted. Not to mention far too crowded. The first year of FNO I was here in Tokyo and had a great time... sometimes I think it's better to go in with absolutely no expectations. 

This year was clearly beyond belief. 

And while I'm sure the effort by Vogue to bring the whole world together for Japan's FNO was the primary reason this year was so exciting, something about FNO in Japan makes it overly unique. It could be the inherit politeness of the Japanese society that makes it seem so much less crowded. Or maybe the fact that all the participating stores are within walking distance. Either way, it seemed more put together and accessible than ever. 

While I still wish I could've at least seen Anna Wintour, BryanBoy, ADR and Emmanuelle Alt, I can't possibly complain. I met the blogger I most admire and enjoy following, as well as one of my top 5 favorite designers, Rumi Neely and Roberto Cavalli.

And I'm still in disbelief.
