This is one of those shows that places greater emphasis upon the wearability of the garments and the beauty of the clothes in an everyday setting rather than beauty expressed through deliberate and pronounced social commentary. Yet the colour, form, shape, texture, and patterns were executed beautifully, and everything was styled in a way that convinces the viewer of the confidence in their beauty that these garments can manifest.
Issey Miyake collections are always so cool but this one stands out to me for demonstrating how much more fun clothes are with cool prints, which is not always seen on runways. Dries Nan Noten does this really well in his collections with flower prints appearing everywhere.
This is like Kurosawa watching King Lear and then deciding "but what if it was called Kingu Riiru" and make it all Japanese. I love the reinterpretation of the fool in this movie. Overall, it was amazing and looked stunning, though it felt convoluted at times. 4.5/5.
