When Shinya Kozuka visited her family in Osaka for the New Year holiday, she spent a lot of time thinking about the moon. His late grandfather, a fond photographer, pictures of Kozuka were in the form of a child hanging on the wall, as well as Kozuka made on a sewing machine for Mother’s Day 20 years ago. “When I saw them, I had a feeling that I get when I see the moon. I thought,” Oh, the moon is swimming in my room “,” He explained.
And so, on the evening of July, in a dark hall in the Tokyo Science Museum, Kozuka showed a moon-lath, Somnambulant collection, which developed a peculiar of romantic loneliness in short hours. The white gradients of the moonlight burnt the black button-up shirt and the sewn trousers who opened the show, later the towel appears again on the dressing gown, along with the beaded ornamentation and those above with the above Crimson Carnets.
From there we became embroidered with a tapestry landscape in the apron and coat, which could have been the Amalfi coast or some fictional storybooks were popped by the town – swan, picture frames and small yellow moon, which were similar to bananas. This lended a rustic, rustic indifference to the collection, decorated with wallpaper floral pajamas and red straps by calico core coats and shorts – the way you see on the vintage tea towel. Strawberry-colored gingham was a needle-punching so that it was given a dress-in (sleep-in?) Haddle, and some models wore half-half-bound socks that flopped on their feet because they walked, as if they had just left the bed. The curly moon that he placed in his arms or sport on his head was based on his pictures of Kozuka.
As anyone has followed Kozuka’s progress, he must have seen, one of the permanent motifs of the Moon designer, as well as a long walk with winter and through the city. “These are the subjects that I think I will use forever. If I am asked to choose between the Sun and the Moon, I will choose the moon, and if I am asked to choose heat or winter, I will choose winter,” he said. “I’m ready for dark things.”
In his show notes (who are very cute to read the poem and always), he wrote the following: “When fashion takes me, those moments are rarely inspired by logic. They are vague, abstract, difficult to explain-and I believe it is what makes them powerful.” Kozuka’s strength as a designer has their ability to take these personal, often real ideas and transfer them to clothes that feel stylish, realistic and consistent. Overseized, Child-out silhouettes angry and prevent anything that crosses the line in the dress; It is not uncommon to see your baggy sweat on fashion-forward youth Tokyoits.
Before a long time, we must be watching them anywhere else: the brand has grown its stockists continuously in recent sessions, and Kozuka is not expecting its first runway show in Europe. First moon, next to stars.
