TOKYO FASHION WEEK 2013 AW: MIKIOSAKABE. FOREVER YOUNG. FOREVER GIRLY. FOREVER ANYTHING GOES.

ミキオサカベ編。東京ファッションウィーク2013年秋冬をレポート。「フォーエバー・ヤング」で世界独特な男性像が現れる

Mikio Sakabe used all male models for his show and they looked amazing; cool, chiseled, tall, and sleek with wet makeup and gelled-back hair. They were like bulls charging down the runway to Prodigy’s “fire starter ” with masculine determination. Except that these boys were of a different breed…they were in lavender negligees and sailor collar skirt suits. Also, cheerleader style uniform dresses, lace bib shirts from the Quaker era, and a sweater with a giant print of a kitty in Warhol-like acid pop colors. There were more “men’s” clothes as well, with some zip-jackets covered in embroidered crucifixes, a rather normal trench coat (normal from what we could see on the outside anyway) and boxer briefs… But ok, these were splashed with kitty patterns or sprouted flower appliqués as well.
