Hybrid Clothing According to Sacai
Chitose Abe deconstructs to reconstruct ad infinitum. Blending different layers and cuts, superimposing, extracting, turning the oblique into a perfect geometric form… in her fashion, nothing is subject to conventional laws. Almost as if we had swapped wardrobes, we take each other’s jacket thus giving it a different look. The undisputed champion of collabs, Chitose Abe masters workwear, so dear to Carhartt WIP, and infuses it with a touch of glamour. It becomes unctuous, almost fluffy. Cherished by contemporary youth, her unique style, which interweaves rigour and relaxation, has no real competition at this stage.
