バレリーナからデザイナーへ。
新しいフィールドで力強く生きるデザイナーChika Kisada。彼女のフィルターを通して作り出される世界には切なさがある。
今回のテーマはバレエ舞台の”石の花”。彼女が青春を注いできたクラシックバレエへの思い入れや愛しさ、それを懐かしむ切なさが儚く見え隠れする、一瞬の刹那。
I have been furiously flipping through the lookbook pages of fashion portals online as of late, looking for something to satisfy the craving to wear something conceptual and stronger than what has been making the rounds. Many Japanese designers have been compelled (or forced) to pare down their designs due to economic factors, so I didn’t have high hopes for finding something to satisfy my terms. And then I came to Rekisami and Ms. Kisada, and it was…an epiphany!
Rekisami is headed by Chika Kisada, a former ballerina cum fashion designer. It’s through her eyes we are introduced to a sharp yet rough world, filtered through a wildly elegant lens. That world is filled with twists, asymmetry, sharp cuts, transformation, and…harnesses. Yes, this is more “black swan” than “swan lake”.
