Sweet, Spicy… Elegantly. Sacai's Momentum Continues.

Sacai, now a regular at Paris Fashion Week, shows no signs of slowing down. "Sacai-esque" details, such as combinations of knit and woven fabrics, and cupro flare tops extending from knitwear, are becoming widespread.

While the Autumn/Winter collection felt a bit too heavy, this Spring/Summer is light, modern, and elegant.

Kitschy animal prints are modernized with punchy black trimmings and ribs. The print patterns overlap with lace, and gathering them creates new patterns. A white ribbon tape dress, joined horizontally, features ribbons that spill out and sway freely. Beneath it, a pink pleated dress with black lace peeking through is alluringly sexy.

Sweet, spicy, gentle, sharp – dresses layered in multiple dimensions create entirely different expressions depending on how they are worn. Bandana prints meet lace, Guatemalan-inspired borders are embroidered, blending the real with the feminine.
