Sacai’s Global Adventure: A Triumph of Creativity and Innovation
Sacai has cemented its reputation as a brand that constantly pushes the boundaries of fashion, and the Spring-Summer 2020 collection was a testament to this innovative spirit. Creative director Chitose Abe took center stage in Paris, presenting a runway show that captivated fashion lovers with its fresh concepts and groundbreaking ideas.
At the heart of the collection was a bold choice of fabric – printed maps of the world. This unique theme perfectly encapsulated Abe’s signature composite chic style, as she expertly mixed fabrics and patterns from different eras to create looks that defied traditional fashion norms. The result was a collection that seamlessly blended elements of the past and present in a truly cohesive manner.
One of the standout pieces from the collection was a mini-trench-meets-bubble-skirt that exemplified Abe’s talent for combining unexpected elements with finesse. Her composite cuts were a recurring motif, with pieces like a beige knit dress intersected by a khaki trench and a gangster chalk stripe coat featuring oversized lapels held together by an industrial chain.
In addition to her groundbreaking clothing designs, Abe has also left her mark on the accessories world. Her chunky Chelsea boots with double soles have become a global trend, and her latest creation of chunky-soled water running shoes with golden buckles is poised to make waves in the fashion industry.
Beyond the realm of fashion, the collection was a celebration of exploration and discovery. Models graced the runway in kaftans embellished with black and white continental maps, paired with tiny Victorian spyglasses for an added touch of whimsy. The nod to classic explorers like Phineas Finn infused the show with a sense of wanderlust and adventure.
In conclusion, Sacai’s global adventure for Spring-Summer 2020 was a resounding success, showcasing Chitose Abe’s unparalleled ability to innovate and create something truly unique. As fashion enthusiasts and trendsetters eagerly anticipate her next move, it’s clear that Abe’s talent and vision will continue to shape the future of fashion.
