Odiba is a man -made island that embraces the south coast of Tokyo, burnt by spacious offices, apartment blocks and warehouses, whose reflections shine in their water of Tokyo Bay. In summer it is a popular date hotspot with lights and summer firework festivals, but in the February cold it feels completely foggy of an industrial no man’s land.
It was the latter vibe, which means that the channel was made for its fall show, for which it called Tokyo’s fashion crowd to an Odiba Skate Park which was originally built for the 2020 Olympics. The guests were given a silver life blanket to each for heat, gathered around the rim of the skate park and shivering like a foil-lipted turkey under the clear night’s sky.
NaOHIRO Fujisaki, who is an aggressive designer in its 30s, never without its glasses and black bucket hats, this brand is now in its 10th year and is known for Uber-Evolution Is. Fujisaki cut off his teeth over white mountaineering, and make clothes for people with outer -minded people (and sometimes girls) who are very good for architex, but still want their jackets to be full of hidden functions .
This time the idea of Fujiski was to show that clothes could accept the role of shelter and security in the absence of buildings. The designer spends his time between the city and the mountains, and so its purpose is to create clothes that can move originally through both settings. Although Skate Park’s concrete rim was not comfortable at all- “I can’t feel my back!” The nearby fashion editor was trunted in the velvet trousers – it served the concept of Fujisaki well. Spotlights on models converted the concrete valleys of Skate Park into a lunar landscape, and drone cameras echoed around the model because they used to walk, adding to the general science-fi atmosphere.
Clothes mostly as you expected: hardware-laden fishing vested, cargo pants and backpacks in a space-edge palette, but with a lot of interesting details if you look quite close. Some ingredients that affect the balance between practical, interesting and stylish: wool with the hurricanes at the back, insulating the leveled skirt above the trousers, and long -term fuzzy arm warmers coat the hood nylon jacket or canvas coat Draw on The brand started a collaboration with the North Face, showing backpacks and jackets in various colors of monochrome-something has made its signature by Meensville with adjustable zig-zaging straps on the neck. Most of all were the latest repetitions of Abhinav Fujisaki KuchofukuWith in-built air-conditioning system-Down jacket, which he reported that a button can cool the body on the click of a button (in winter the commuter train crush work, sweat-level hill and everything in the middle).
Fujisaki’s future brain, gorpi dresses are a good example of how the outdoor gear has tolerated for so long in menwear: clothes existing in the net utilitarian service of the clothes wearing, such attention With, you like it comfortably and good. Is doing this. In more than one way, the show was reminiscent of him. It was just a cold.
