10月18日、「99%is(ナインティナイン パーセント イズ)」2014年春夏コレクションが発表された。初の東京コレクション参加ということで話題にもなっていた「99%is」。テーマは、「Just as it is」。これまで、ジョージコックス、コム デ ギャルソン、マッキントッシュと様々なファッションブランドとコラボレーションを経験する韓国出身のデザイナーBajowoo。コレクションは、スタッズのイメージが強かったことから、あえてスタッズアイテムを使用せずファーストからフィナーレまで全体的にレザーのアイテムが目立っていた。全身ブラックのファーストルックで始まり、中・終盤シルバーやホワイトのパネルで切り替えられたストライプルック。ヘアを手掛けたのは、国内はもちろん世界的に活躍する最重要人物、加茂克也氏。シルバー色に覆われたモデルの頭。

The Spring/Summer 2014 season was a special occasion for Tokyo based Korean Designer Bajowoo as it saw the runway debut of his menswear brand 99%IS. The label has made steady progress, starting out making and customizing outfits for punk bands in Seoul 99%is has been worn by Bieber, Big Bang and Gaga whist also collaborating with brands such as Mackintosh and Comme Des Garcons. This was the first time for Bajowoo showing a collection in full anD he went all out. Candy’s stylist Masahiro Nakajima styled the show with super star hair stylist Katsuya Kamo adding not quite a golden but silver touch to the models hair. The set featured two arch ways through which models walked to traverse a ramp before walking around circular stage… all in the collections black and white stripes. This was a concept seen through not 99% but 100% – stripes in black, white and silver conspiring in a mix of Beetlejuice x penitentiary chic that was true to the brands punk roots. The visual impact was huge and quite brilliant, it’s great to have a fresh menswear show to loo forward to on the Japan Fashion Week Schedule See an interview with Designer Bajowoo HERE.
