“惚れ直す”というのがコレじゃないなら、たぶんわたしは一生”惚れ直す”ことなんて出来ない。
展示会周りで東京を駆け巡り毎日2万歩以上歩いていた私にそう思わせたのは、2016-17秋冬コレクションのミキオサカベ。
「モードなミキオはいかがですか。」
にやっとした含み笑いと共に、自信たっぷりなセリフが聞こえた気がした。
It seems Kawaii fashion may have gone to the dark side.
One of the most prominent members of the movement, Mikio Sakabe, has released a lookbook for his fall/winter collection all in black and white, which is an interesting move, to say the least. Although Mikio’s fashions themselves are as bright, glittery, and as kitsch as you’d expect, this desaturated way of showing them (a collaboration with high-fashion Japanese magazine Commons&Sense) really forces us to to consider how “mode” fashion and it’s antithesis, “Kawaii” fashion is perceived…and how it can evolve.
