Designer Alice Yasutaka Funakoshi chose an Alice in Wonderland meets goth thematic that was perhaps even more phenomenal with each passing exit. Garments were varied in silhouettes from corsets to cage-like skirts.

Each model that emerged from the foggy set sported a new fantastically wondrous creation to the beat of pounding electronic music. The Alice Auaa Spring 2013 prêt-à-porter showcased a variety of unreserved surrealism that is only possible in the advanced Japanese fashion culture.
