OMG...I LOVE THIS! it's conceptual fashion which is nonetheless very wearable. It really rethinks the construction of shape and how it takes on more interesting shapes when the occupant changes. I only wish he had gone one step further, eg., incorporating a rectangle bag into the clothes which can be removed, thus making the 3-D shaping functional. I really like this nonetheless.

The first collection that i saw from this label was back in '06 i and really loved it.
it wasn't as good as this one but i liked the idea how he incorporate alphabet into clothes.
Also S/S 09 has similar concept with F/W 09-10.

[user500]

wow! awesome concept!

 

[Crying Diamonds]

It's clever. It's like upholstered clothes.

 

[Romantic Rebel]

Those will look probably better if it is already worn.

 

[gius]

he must be the same guy who made the giant patent leather purses
which could also be worn as dresses...

are these the same idea --multifunctional clothes
a shirt that can also be used as a chest of drawers? ^^
or is the shape actually built into the garment itself



+ what are these signs... 凹　凸

I bet [Female (凹)+ Male (凸)] collections ... I mean it is obvious to me.

Those symbols join representing the male and female ...

In Chinese these two characters means what it looks like. 凹 means concave and 凸 is the exact opposite, convex. I don't speak Japanese, but I'm pretty sure it applies to Japanese as well.

You can see the 凹凸 in this collection.

 

[gius]

ah ! thanks

i just started to notice, the signs are in the clothes themselves..

 

[starrygurlrox]

yup japanese have the same kanji characters, adapted from chinese (i'm proficient in both languages).
