Philosophy Men: Japanese-inspired Designs for MenSince its inception in 2001, Philosophy Men has been challenging men's fashion with their edgy, exciting and outrageous line of menswear.
Tired of the limited range of menswear found in department stores, founders Tino Soon and Allan Chan decided it was time for men to have some fun with their outfits.
The duo also decided that instead of holding sales, they would hold "country promotions".
Like its sister brand for women Salabianca, Philosophy will have a collection based on the adopted fashion style of a chosen country each year.
This year it is Japan, a great place to push your fashion boundaries.
There, men are as appearance-conscio us as the women, with some young men having manicures, facials or plucking their eyebrows without shame.
Stroll down hip sections of Japan such as Harajuku or Sinjuku, and you will see young lads strolling about in colourful hip-hop wear, punk or Goth styles; their hair brightly coloured or in dreadlocks.

Philosophy's latest Japanese-influence d collection is named "Japan Japan".
The crew flew over to Japan for their photoshoot, and made Kyoto their background to feature the Japan Japan collection, made possible with the support of Sony, Clinique Cosmetics, Japan Airlines International (JAL)
