Spotlight. Stage. Magic. Boom!
Circus, Circus…Tsumori Chisato dazzled me again with her aw10 ready-to-wear collection, themed as “Circus”. Fall/Winter doesn’t manifest itself only in dark and somber or snow white, it can totally be a playful and vibrant colorful world, such as juicy couture‘s {latest aw10 campaign}! Here’s what Hadley Freeman from {style.com} described Tsumori Chisato:
“If Vivienne Westwood and Celia Birtwell had a child, raised it in Japan, and reared it on a diet of manga cartoons and Disney films, that child would grow up to be Tsumori Chisato.”
I would say, Tsumori Chisato is the Japanese {Elsa Schiaparelli}, the fashion artist. Shiarappali was the greatest rival of Chanel, one of the most important names for fashion design during the early 20th century. Her fame was not as high as Chanel but her fashion artistry was totally amazing. Chanel took fashion design as a metier of craftsmanship, while Shiarappali regarded fashion design as a form of art, an art full of life, color and surprises… This is how I see Tsumori Chisato’s design. Fabrics are her canvas. Her aw10 collection is full of daring and contrasting colors and patterns, bringing an atmosphere of lively circus….{I somehow vision the “molin rouge” here}. Surprising the viewers with the small details such as feather, ropes, jaw-dropping tights, obi-ish belt and drapery, drapery…and drapery again…. the collection is more than glamorous and whimsical. She invites us to come exploring in her aesthetic of manga + bohemian style! I am now a devoted disciple to the TC school!
{I’m sharing this amazine aw10 line with the “circus” theme from an independent fabric/print design company {Spoonflower}.
