Christian Dada Designer Morikawa-san opted out of the Tokyo fashion Week Schedule for his fall 2014 presentation, choosing instead to present to a relatively small group of 120 invited guests at Ogasawaratei, a Spanish-like event space evoking a decadent Europe. In fact Dada is opting out of the Tokyo Fashion scene all together, ‘INFINITY’ being the curtain call on Dada’s Tokyo Collection presentations after Singapore based D’League Group invested in the brand by buying a 51% stake…. enabling Christian Dada to begin showing in Paris.
This Fall collection concentrated on menswear and seemed to be split into 3 distinct sections, Princes of the forest, Rock of the Saint Laurent ilk and some classic British punk. The first section was fur and leather heavy, the second offered up bright pinks and blues whilst the third featured Jacquered checks (a type of weave) in reds, blues and gold. The final look combined a gold union jack sleeveless vest with wide legged Japanese style Hakama pants. The final walk through saw models in Union Jack vests, seeing model Luke Worrall in this with a leather choker was a distinctly Brit-Punk-Fashion moment. Two highly covetable leather jackets made an appearance in the final section, one just below the waist and belted, the other with shoulders giving an armadillo like appearance. With the investment, move to Europe, and this being his 30th Birthday it was quite the celebration for Morikawa-san, we look forward to following Dada’s progression in Paris.
