The show was squirreled away in an East London warehouse, a fitting backdrop for designer Arashi Yanagawa’s rock chic collection that was reminiscent of “Matrix” styles. The looks came strong and fast — blazers with sharp and exaggerated shoulders, a red vinyl coat and relaxed tailored suits — as models pounded the concrete floor in their cowboy boots.
Yanagawa’s skilled construction of such staples was accentuated with experimental details — elasticated waistbands nipped in coats at the waist, buttons were purposely done up wrong and pearl embellishments, which added a delicate contrast, ran down the side of shirts. He also played with large volumes for the trousers and scarves for pops of color.
