Graphically Expressed Emotions

TAAKK AW22

“This nonsensical world we call home,” Takuya Morikawa focused on self exploration by eliminating his own filters. He takes a multidisciplinary approach - incorporating extensive material research and imaginative fabric treatments into his creations and collaborating with expert technicians to bring these ideas to existence.

Morikawa focuses on challenging and pushing himself to create things that he has not done before. The result in this current collection is a beautifully distorted and multifaceted look. When one is looking deeply into himself, past creations and present intentions become blurred. As abstract as it may be Morikawa visualized his emotions into graphics, translating them onto new materials and vegan leather.

Pulling from past memories through self-reflection, this collection is styled together with basic denims, reminiscent of Morikawa's student work. Although it is not presented in physical form, this digital vision was produced with filmmaker Nagisa Kodama.
