Dear Shaded Viewers,

I arrived in Tokyo this morning and along with being here for the ASVOFF screening I am also here to meet with the powers that be at the Vantan Design Institute and to have a Q & A with their students. We had a nice chat today and they told me about how the school is structured, the different specialties that are offered which range from fashion design to food design, beauty and film. www.vantan.jp. They have an international program and collaborate with Parsons and IMG and make a presentation during the Mercedes Benz fashion week in NYC.
