FALL-WINTER 2023/2024

Theme

We have been releasing collections twice a year for the past few years but our collection this time does not have a specific theme. The collection itself aims to reveal a new, solid brand concept.

Our new brand concept is “““Okuyukasi”””
The Japanese concept “Okuyukasi” can be literally translated into “elegant modesty”. It also comes with the meaning “to read ahead, to get to know, and to ask with compassion”, along with “be captivated from the bottom of one’s heart”. The term itself is graceful and attractive; it reflects the times. So, we have designed the dress with such a distinctive feature of the Japanese culture.

Instead of creating something with exaggerating or with eye-catching features, we prefer focusing more on the true, real beauty of the brides the way to show it with necessary elaborations. It is, in fact, the expression of Japanese aesthetics.

On the best day of life, we want to tell the backstories of the brides- how they have lived out their lives, as well as their individual beauty and discernible personal style. The design aims to make audience become curious about all the life stories behind.
