MEKAS is an information service featuring the latest news and analysis on the Japanese fashion market.

We offer daily updates on breaking news, monthly features on major social changes and clothing trends, street photography, profiles of up-and-coming brands, as well as our unique insights and expert analysis. Based in the heart of Tokyo, we are able to break through the language and culture barriers that have stymied observers in the past and send the most accurate information on Japan to the rest of the world in real time.

The name MEKAS comes from the Japanese word mekasu meaning “to dress up, be stylish” and reflects our principal mission of examining how manufacturers, financiers, designers, stylists, the media, celebrities, and consumers all come together in the widespread pursuit of style in Japan.
