Los Angles-based shop Kitson, known as the stomping grounds of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, has arrived in Japan. The first shop opened in the Lumine department store in Shinjuku on March 8th, and the launch was marked by a fashion show as part of the Tokyo Girl’s Collection the day before. The fashion show began with a slideshow of paparazzi shots of Hollywood socialites walking out the the L.A. location. As models came out to start the show, fake paparazzi on stage chased them down the runway, clicking their cameras. Everyone wants to be famous, it seems.

The launch is well timed, as there is increased interest in Hollywood celebrities amongst Japanese, with new magazines such as Gossips Press focusing exclusively on Hollywood celebs, and completely bypassing the usually ubiquitous Japanese talents. As Kitson offers the exact same outfits that can be seen on the Olsen twins, Nicole Ritchie and other in the paparazzi photos, it is sure to be a hit with Japanese shoppers seeking their 15 minutes of fashion fame.
