Everyone knows how creative Tokyo Street Style can be (look here on Vogue runway for proof). The children here wear the most outfit and boundary-witch outfits seen by you. But what happens to those children when growing up? Some of them, such as Kenta Orimi, go to fashion. The 36 -year -old, who was born in Hiroshima and later moved to Tokyo, spent his teenage years to collect vintage clothes and ride on the road on the pedestrian Catwalk. Your own store, Elephant, Orimi will remake vintage items for their customers, and taught themselves how to carry separate jeans and designed them. Finally they had enough success to convert the elephant into a well -selected shop, now there are two posts: one in Osaka, one in Tokyo. Then, during the epidemic in 2020, he founded his brand, Orimi. Which simply updates us.
On Saturday night, what will be the concluding show of Tokyo Fashion Week of this season, he organized his first on-scheduel show for Orimi, which shown his skills as both a designer and a buyer with a selection of sickly elegant, neo-gothic stitch. Everything was curious: The hoodie was made from linen and sinking the nekalines, the sewn trousers dropped the crotch or asymmetric fasting deeply, while the suit had a cloth covered buttons or cropped with huge electric shoulders.

Whether Nosafaratu or Edward Kulene (some model skin lowered silver with glow), of course here was a subtle vampire reference here. “Vampire?” Later Erymi Backstage Laughter. “I was not conscious of doing this, but my collections are mostly monochromes and my work always has a gothic element.” He credits Sonic Summer, Tokyo Music Festival to Sonic Summer, which he used to grow nearby. “I was in touch with a lot of rock music from high school,” he said.
Bloodsucking or not, there were lots of bite in the collection, and strange but convincing looks made it a solid debut for ORIMI. Certainly, it was attracted to its past in Hazuku, but it was completely visible and ambitious. The audience was also full of Orimi-Clad boys, for whom their work is clearly resonant. “For me, Harjuku represents my roots and where do I come from,” he said. “With my brand, I want to take the essence and bring it to an international level, which feels me and feels, not only within Japan, but with the world.”
