Japanese designer, Mikio Sakabe, with the collaborative efforts of Jen Fang-Shueh, presented a hybrid of fashion at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Japan.
With an all male line-up criss-crossing the runway, models wore skirts, Japanese school girl sailor uniforms and shirts with various prints and designs.
Next door, viewers were left completely in the dark with eerie flickering lights and old-fashioned TV screens providing the only illumination to see models sitting on what appeared to be a homecoming float.
Lighting revealed Fang-Shueh's independent line, Jenny Fax, in a zombie-fied house of horror installation.
SOUNDBITE: Jen Fang-Shueh, fashion designer for Mikio Sakabe and Jenny Fax, saying (English):
"Why I want to make this horror house is always after I'm watching horror movie I'm feeling life is so beautiful. It's so opposite feeling, and it somehow make me more motivation always."
The five models wore heavy white make-up and stared off blankly into space.
The name of the Jenny Fax installation is "Second Curse".
Mercedes-Benz Japan Fashion Week ends on March 24th.
