Hidenori Kumakiri – Beautiful People
In Sleeping beauty from the Spring 2021 Collection a white duvet dress is inspired by the successive lockdowns and the time spent staying at home. A dress that can be worn indoors and outdoors. An embroidered piece which offers beauty from every angle, situations or poses. The second image displays the work-in-progress of the Fall 2021 Collection. The team is brainstorming on how to provide easy-understanding visuals that can convey the theme of the collection which is Double-end: clothes that can be worn in multiple ways, upside down. The images chosen also convey the message that people spent more time looking into their reflection in the mirror during the paramedic, finding the right angle and pose.
