“日本人デザイナーがパリのオートクチュールに12年ぶりに登場”
そんな快挙を成し遂げたのは、レディガガをはじめとする海外アーティストなどへの衣装提供で知られるユイマナカザト。なんと12年前にモリハナエがオートクチュールショーを成し遂げてから、日本人の参加はご無沙汰だったというから驚きだ。もともと、衣装提供に力を入れていた彼は量産型のプロダクトづくりより、オーダーメイドで一点一点凝ったものを作ることに向いていると自己を分析しているし、今までのクリエーションをみてもそれは一目瞭然だ。
“It’s been 12 years since a Japanese designer was seen on the haute couture runway”
And with that, Yuima Nakazato took his ouvre of costume design for the likes of Lady Gaga all the way to the top stage, as a guest member of this year’s Haute Couture collections in Paris. As we all know, to show a haute couture collection during this fashion week, one must be specifically invited by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture so being asked to a guest spot is a huge honor.
12 years ago it was Hanae Mori with her ball gowns and intricate decor for ladies looking to be glitzy. But Yuima brought his own shade of glitz, in the form of his signature holographic fabric, which turnt out that runway like a future fantastic Bjork in hyperspeed.
