This was #ChitoseAbe’s first ever Sacai #men’s #runway show. That’s patently untrue in the wider scheme of things, but true in that it’s the first Abe has attended in person, to acknowledge the applause at the end. At a time when other #designers are bowing out of doing #menswear shows, it was interesting to see such a vehement commitment, both in terms of the designer’s presence on the runway and in her obvious involvement in the #design studio. Abe’s clothes are by no means simple—they’re worked, complicated, and thought out. Often, when watching the show, it can take a minute or two to figure out exactly how it all works—where the #pockets sit, where the #buttonholes are, if that’s a #sweater, or a #shirt, or kind of both? That’s the conundrum of Sacai’s trademark #hybrid #garments.
