Paris Fashion Week: Day 1

It was art meets fashion at Japanese label Anrealage's second season on the Paris catwalks. Graphic and conceptional, designer Kunihiko Morinaga didn't introduce colour until the 22nd look. It was a play of light and shadow, with dark garments featuring lens-shaped colours that looked as if they were projected on the clothes. The clothes themselves were full of texture and sculpted silhouettes. Fabrics felt technical and textural, emphasised by the darkness, which included black-out makeup and hair on the models. It was eerie but also fascinating as only a cult Japanese label can execute.
