Fall/Winter 2009-10 Collection Here

Launched in 1999 with a five-piece collection while raising a family, "sacai" has created an elegant "new standard" based on its concept of "design rooted in the everyday," offering twists on basic items.

This season's collection reconstructs the standard by combining multiple universal elements.
Motifs like trench coats, rider's jackets, and men's cardigans are reinterpreted with new dimensionality by pairing contrasting materials, such as crisp fabrics with chiffon, or knits with unexpected textures.
