excerpt: Fetico. Spring 2026 - Tokyo Fashion Week

  

"...So it's interesting that Japanese designer Emi Funayama, when I did review her Fall 2023 collection, is maintaining the said trend, particularly more risque in her approach, aware that Japan, within is plethora of paradoxes,  is actually a very conservative society, and may very well be a societal blueprint for the rest of us, as the young begin to retreat inward, known in Japanese as "hikikomori".  Burt out, overloaded and overstimulated.

Funayama for her Spring 2026 collection, has titled it "The Depth of Her", and I have just completed a study recently in relation to the somatic application of sex toys by neurodivergent women, where the sexual application has been replaced with somatic repetition to soothe frayed nervous systems, essentially 'body hacking' the parasympathetic (pelvis, spinal cord nerves) to enter calm, trance like states.  Truly showing how much depth there is to women's sexuality, more so the divergent nervous systems that require rest/digest, and 'grounding' that is not always based on sex.  Is Funayama alluding to something similar?  Or is it just the wording that caught my attention?..."
