Chitose Abe’s latest Sacai collections take inspiration from the adventurous spirit of James Dean, fusing collegiate styles with a bold avant-garde flair. Reflecting Dean’s 1950s aesthetic, models carrying stacks of books exude youthful rebellion, highlighting Abe’s inventive hybridization techniques. In collaboration with Levi’s and WTAPS, she skillfully combines hard and soft fabrics, creatively slicing and patching garments in surprising ways. This results in a striking contrast between classic silhouettes, such as little black dresses reminiscent of 18th-century frock coats, and modern pieces featuring crinkled pouf sleeves that evoke the nobility of the Renaissance.
The men’s collection pays tribute to Dean with a nostalgic take on the classic Harrington jacket, enhanced by playful vintage prints of cars and flowers. Each item reflects Abe’s pursuit of originality, revitalizing familiar archetypes with architectural details and exaggerated shapes that resonate with contemporary masculinity. Accessories like glasses and books further emphasize a narrative of intellectual curiosity.
Sacai’s unique approach is evident in how it transforms traditional forms with couture-inspired elements, while the evening wear showcases Abe’s exceptional pattern-making skills, revealing unconventional elegance. This collection celebrates youthful vibrancy and sophisticated edge, offering a rich exploration of identity and style. Through each piece, Chitose Abe honors her inspirations while pushing the boundaries of modern fashion, encouraging wearers to embark on their own journeys of discovery.
