Sakaguchi made use of the opportunity to launch the Spring/Summer 2015 collection of his original label, Mannequins JAPON. The collection featured fifteen looks, most of which were adorned with headscarves resembling Muslim hijab. Flaunting black and white as the dominant colors, the designer neatly applied stripe and plaid patterns on various jackets, coats, trousers, and shirts.

Ono, hauling his label Om, also exhibited fifteen of his works. Ono’s collection exuded a sensual impression due to the dominant use of lace accents on hip and thigh parts. Furthermore, Ono utilized layering and drapery techniques to produce attractive, colorful clothing, ranging from orange, green, maroon, magenta, pink, to pastel.

Hirokawa began to be known by Japanese fashion market after the successful launching of "Skin Series", a body wear collection which explored the connection between clothes and human body silhouette, in 2006.
