TOKYO FASHION WEEK 2013 AW: CHRISTIAN DADA. FEATHERED SHOES LEAD TO HEAVEN AND REBIRTH

クリスチャンダダ編、東京コレクション「MBFT」2013年秋冬レポート。羽ばたく足下でヘブンとリバース(蘇り）へ。

Christian dada was the first official fall winter show of the tokyo fashion week season and it set a tone for excellence for the rest of the week.  

But fears were alleviated just sitting down; a full chorus and orchestra-slash-rock band was waiting. 14 singers, 3 electric guitarists, a pianist, a percussionist, 2 drummers a bassist, and violinist.  And one man with his hand over his heart. I kept waiting for this man to DO something but in the end, he just stood there. It’s like a movie that cuts off before it finishes…”is that it?? Something MUST happen right!?” but perhaps that is my anxiety taking over..

コレクションの幕は、観客席と平行にセットされたバンド(１４人のシンガー、３人のギタリスト、ピアニスト、パーカッションにドラマー、バイオリニスト。そして一番前で胸に手をあてた男性がいたのだが、彼は結局なんのパートを担当していたのか不明でした…)

Luckily, the runway was so captivating I could ignore that guy. The black baroque embroidery that turned to gold, the rubber studs on tshirts and pocket clutches gripped my interest. These details alone made for a beautiful collection of elegance and rock, a pitch-perfect collection for today’s edgy consumer of high fashion. 

肝心のコレクションは、ブラックをメインに刺繍をふんだんに使用した繊細なルックから、ラバーのスタッズを一面に縫い付けたハードなルックまで、終止ロマンティックで美しい印象でした。さすが東京シーンのエッジー代表。
