Expressing Looks That Emphasize the Theme of "Light and Shadow"

――What was the theme/concept for the 2014 Spring/Summer collection?

This season's theme is "Vintage Classic." Inspired by the "light and shadow," "public and private spheres," and "chaos" of America in the 1950s and 60s.
On one hand, new things were constantly being born and rapid development was occurring, while on the other hand, as a reaction, the darker aspects were gradually exposed, expressing a chaotic social climate.

The collection features a masterful balance of design elements such as patchwork combining contrasting or disparate tastes and materials, silhouettes, fabrics, and stitching. It also utilizes calculated processing techniques, exemplified by garment dyeing, bio-processing, and puckering.

――What were the key points and aspects you wanted to emphasize in this season's look shoot?

――What are the differences in styling, silhouette, and color compared to last year's Spring/Summer collection?
