thanks for this thread runner. i wasn't aware this award existed. when you mentioned yohji created something during his days as bunka i expected the usual oversized garb...the piece is so modish! and i am tickled by the fur top. she looks like a cosmopolitan forest ranger of the future.

 

[travolta]

the winning piece is so fantastical. it reminds me of that yohji collection a few years back with the drawstring bag/dresses. runner, you just made my day!

you're all welcome



yes skot it seems the pic is from the 78th.

five dudding designers win the prizes in the contest.
first prize, second, third, the Itokin prize, the rooms prize
they accept the entries three times a year.
you can submit your portfolio to one of three judges at each opportunity.
each judge selects four candidates. and then each candidate makes one look from the portfolio within a month. after it is photographed, candidates have an interview with the judge.
then, the judge selects two from the four for the finals.
the two make three looks within two months, and they are shown on the final runway.

Daigo Takeuchi selected by Yoshiki Hishinuma

oh wow! i really love the textures of kanako and aki and i adore the innovation(some may say that looks chalayan-esque but to me it's much more accessible) .....amazing prints+i do have a weakness for the red he uses.

thanks runner!

sort of elaborate trompe l'oeil
