Escaping from the hustle and bustle of the city, and popping into a retro building from Showa-era, that’s where the runway show of Christian Dada was held at.
It was a very subtle and cozy atmosphere until a roaring drum sound started and a rockabilly-haired model walked into the runway in a giant coyote-fur coat and skinny leather pants.
British rock exposition, one of the journalists sat next to us whispered, and indeed the show was entirely dedicated to a various age of British rock legacies ranging from classy ted’s uniform of Edwardian suits, oversized punk mohair knit paired with pleated kilt (which actually was mashed up with shorts), shimmering gold jacquard ensemble which David Bowie would definitely love (the textile later on was found that it’s made out of Japanese renowned Nishijin-ori artisan…super luxury!!), to a curtain call with the models all dressed in Union Jack T-shirt.
So, is this tight, sexy and British kind of style the new direction of the young talented designer Masanori Morikawa? Well, the only thing we know is that he and his brand is stepping into to the next phase, challenging a presentation in Paris next season. Wishing you the best of luck, my man!
