TOKYO FASHION WEEK 2013 AW: THE OUTFITS. DAY 4 IS WHEN I MASTERED THE ART OF SEQUINS WITH MURUA

東京ファッションウィークのコーディネートダイアリー4日目: スパンコール達人になった日 by MURUA

I should give every outfit I wear a number according to how easy it is to sit in something or not. I couldn’t sit in the Anrealage cage dress on Sunday so that gets a “sit-able” number of 0. And the EMODA dress yesterday was raining beads every time I moved much less tried to sit that’s a cringe-worthy 3.  Today I thought it would be easier…I don’t know why…. it was just sequins after all.

But today was a face-palm-inducing 4. The pailletes are delicate and don’t take kindly to being suffocated by a human being trying to rest itself on its bum. It was definitely super, super cool looking though. And would you have guessed it was by MURUA?! Yes! In fact this was also a show piece from the Mark Style “Touch Me” ss 13 show. I find it ironic that a domestic mass-market brand is the one putting out these fun showpieces, while many high-end brands can only afford to make commercial pieces. Mass-market or not, these items are so much fun to have on option and I`m grateful for it.

So today was the first day of filming for a big super special project…I had cameras on me for half the day, including the Dresscamp show. I am just thankful it’s not reality TV- what a head job that must be! Can’t wait for the project to be released!

そして今日のこちらはレベル４といったところでしょうか、全面巨大なスパンコールが縫い付けられたセットアップです！実はこちら、昨日とはまた別の渋谷系人気ブランドMURUAのショーピースなのです。ファッションビル系ブランドのショーピース？と侮ることなかれ、MURUAは毎シーズンTouch Meのコレクションで素晴らしいショーピースを製作しているのです。今やアーティスティックな作品はラグジュアリーブランドだけのものにあらず！

 

 MURUA’s collection theme was “Futuristic Mermaid” so everytime I came close to anyone the reflection on the walls made it look like I was underwater. Talk about a performance!

MURUAの今回のコレクションは”フューチャリスティックマーメード”がテーマということで、スパンコールが反射する様子はさながら人魚のよう…って、これ洋服の話しですけどね。
