...sound of howling wind, a model emerges in a head-to-toe snow print wearing a delicate collar of cherry blossoms nodding on long, slender stems. Then, to the melancholy strains of a live string orchestra, others follow in puffed coats so intricately puckered and gathered that models look encased in origami cocoons. The collection, the fourth by Issey Miyake's heir apparent Naoki Takizawa, creates an effect so mesmerizing that, for a moment, even the most hard-nosed store buyers forget niggling practicalities like what happens if you sit while furled in those brilliantly colored coats...

...every week on Reiji's doorstep begging for jobs. Working as a male host still carries seedy connotations, but the recession has led them to seek out unusual career paths. Katsumasa Tanaka, 26, was a salaried worker at an auto-parts company in Osaka until earlier this year. The slender six-footer with Chiclet teeth came to Tokyo with dreams of singing and acting. After auditioning for a role in a movie about male hosts, he decided he could be one himself. Though top hosts can earn well into six figures, Tanaka is happy with $3,000 a month...
