Tokyo-based street style photographer is a regular fixture at Paris Fashion Week, cataloguing the most memorable looks on and off the catwalk. On her most recent visit, she spotted a recurring theme: skillfully executed monotone looks that might be just the trend we need to brighten up grey winter days.

Rei says: “This past Paris Fashion Week, I noticed many women wearing vivid colours from top to toe. This can be a tricky look to pull off, but these women keep their styles simple, not trying to combine too many different elements. The result was striking and attractive – everyone couldn’t stop watching them!

“At first you feel it’s just eye-catching, but when you look more closely, you can see the harmony in the small details that combine to create a balanced outfit. I’m always excited to see people exploring their style like this, and finding hidden tricks in how they express their sense of fashion.”

“Another woman going to Issey Miyake – I really love her casual velvet, almost pajama-like outfit!”

“A woman going to the Valentino show – and proving that even neon yellow can be chic when combined with a classic silhouette.”
