Only Japan could have an industry well in the black that is still in the red. Let's hope the strength of this promising sector is not just being used as a cosmetic cover to pay lip service to the core prinicples of the broader recovery. There are bigger and more important sectors that have a lot of ground to makeup


BTW, I would be happy to label that makeup neo-traditional (N-trad, OMG....LOLz), and since we are talking about people that write about fashion matters as if fashion matters........... ............but yeah, I getcha.
