After making the challenging switch from boxing ring to catwalk, Japanese fashion designer and former boxer Arashi Yanagawa talked about rolling with the punches during Men's Fashion Week in London.
"Being flexible and continually learning is something that I take from both boxing and styling," Yanagawa said as he put the finishing touches to his collection in a cluttered studio space in east London.
The 41-year-old heads up a fashion label he created called John Lawrence Sullivan - named after the legendary 19th century US boxer who is considered the first heavyweight champion of the modern era.
