No wonder they're not smiling: Models forced to wear bizarre wigs, created for Japanese designer Yoshio Kubo's fashion week, at Tokyo Fashion Week.
Wearing designer couture and with all eyes on them, it is a place where models are supposed to feel at their best. But these Japanese men looked far from impressed as they strutted their stuff on a catwalk at Tokyo Fashion Week. The models took centre stage in a range of bizarre wigs - from highly coiffed hairstyles to makeshift helmets.
Another did not look impressed with his attire as he stared out from under a helmet of highly coiffed hair with a forlorn expression and a furrowed brow. And even a jazzy suit could not cheer one man up - whose ginger-coloured wig attracted much more attention than his matching moustache and beard.
The unusual wigs, created for Japanese designer Yoshio Kubo's collection, were captured on camera at the Mercedes-Benz fashion week, which is being held in Japan's capital until this evening. The fashion week, which takes place twice a year, is renowned world over for its alternative fashions that see women dressed in haute goth and men don eccentric, feminine hairstyles.
This year's event has showcased the creations of numerous designers and brands, including Kidill, Né-net, Ariunaa Suri, Sretsis, NurZahra, Afriqan Apeiron, Dresscamp and Major Minor.
