Chitose Abe showcased her men’s Fall/Winter 2024 and women’s Fall 2024 collection on the runway at Paris Fashion Week. This time around, the Japanese designer returns to the foundations of her brand and her love for uniform.
The sacai uniform has always been rooted in unity and coming together as one piece. On a grander scheme, it takes on a greater moral value that sees the brand stand for the idea of unity as one. Continuing to play on words and with modern silhouettes, the house explores various shapes through monochromatic pairings. Sleeves are extra voluminous, while Abe introduces a new elongated vertical vertical hybrid that sees long strips twisted into a new form and accentuated with zippers.
Abe moves forward with her reconstruction ideals, recontextualizing the uniform. This time around, the palette of the collections stays true to classic navy, khaki, black and white, while also bringing a softness and gentelness with a light foam green. Knitwear patterns feature sequins for added textures while menswear saw a revival of ultra baggy workwear pants and bomber jacket and shirt hybrids. The collection also sees a collaboration with Mark Gonzales who lends his artwork to the series of badges seen on the Spiewak G8 jacket. The new sacai collaboration expands sacai’s mark in utility wear. In footwear, sacai brings forward reimagined J.M. Weston Golf Derbies and Worker boots that feature the brand’s iconic Vibram sneaker soles.
Take a look at the collection above.
