“GOTCHA!” PHANTOM CLOTHING. BACKSTAGE AT ANREALAGE SS 2012 TOKYO.
アンリアレイジ2012年春夏バックステージをレポート。騙し系ファントム服やないか!
ANREALAGE can become an addiction…their collections feed fashion fans like ADD-saddled kids at the candy store. This sugar comes in the form of freaky cool fabrics, hi-tech transformation techniques, and some deep concepts. With that said, it’s not going to make you contemplate your life over the construction of a chiffon blouse. Looking at these detail backstage shots from the ANREALAGE 2012 spring summer Tokyo show, it may come across as an art project, but the brand is straightforward in their understanding of their pieces as products, and you will see that when the clothes are presented on the racks.
Perhaps that is why the invitation for this show came as a plastic shell of a toy bag..something you’d find at the $.99 store. The collection was also titled “Shell” and it incorporated this idea into the clothing with hardened bodices and details like hardened wrinkles. There were also trenches and jackets with “phantom” pockets, belts, and buttons and “phantom” knitwear that is actually polyester satin
(!) (!) given an embossing technique. It seems like quite a simple collection (especially compared to last season’s mosaic- 8-bit pixel-looking collection) but it uses a lot of different materials… PVC, polyester, plastic, cotton, patchworking (their signature is patchwork…it ALWAYS makes an appearance)….
今回お伝えするのは、Anrealage。このブランドは、このブログでも何度も書かせて頂いているのだがそのことが物語るように、どうにもこうにも中毒性のあるブランド
だから今回のコレクションのインビはおもちゃのプラパッケージの抜け殻だったから・・?このプラスチックの抜け殻こそが今回のショーのテーマ”Shel
It was a solemn, slow procession down the runway, accompanied with live music by Ippei Sugihara. The brand always uses this man for their runway music, and they recently released a CD with an archive of their runway songs. Hair/Makeup was done by genius Katsuya Kamo.

To compliment the runway show, here are some of the looks from their exhibition:

Pink. Plastic. Toes. Too bad I don’t wear flats :/

ANREALAGE’s designer Morinaga is a fan of experimenting with tech to use in his fabrics and this time he did some heavy-handed things like heating his pieces up to 400 degrees then freezing it then vacuuming it to suck the air out….voila! You have “phantom” pockets! This trench is actually completely devoid of actual buttons, pockets, lapel or a belt.

As for these bodices, they were actually available for order, but for about 90,000yen (over $1.2k). I later had the opportunity to actually wear one at their store for a shoot…(!!) will post photos those later
on….
このボディブラウスも実際に購入可能だそうで、そのお値段9万円也。ラッキーなことに、少し前の撮影で着用させて頂いたのだが、その様子はまた後日アップします!

I can’t believe the f/w collection is just around the corner.
This “Shell” collection is now available at their shop in Harajuku/Sendagaya.
もうそろそろショップに春夏が立ち並ぶころかと思うのでこの作品を実際に見たい方は早速原宿か千駄ヶ谷のショップに向か
