sacai

[Faust]

I know we have the seasonal collections threads, but I think Chitose Abe of sacai deserves to be in our pantheon. I think she is incredibly talented and has perfected her own distinct voice, not an easy feat.

sacai: A to Z, the Rizzoli book review from StyleZeitgeist magazine

Interesting, where would say is the best resource for finding out about Sacai apart from this book?

[Faust]

The best resource, as with any designer, is to go to stores and see the clothes.

There was also a profile on her in The Business of Fashion

this thread should be called Sacai and Kolor

[Faust]

No, it shouldn't. Even though Chitose and Junichi are married, they each do their own thing.

Thanks for The Business of Fashion link, that's kinda what I was looking for. I have no chance of getting to Japan any time soon.

[Faust]

sacai is pretty widely available in the rest of the world by now.

[NoisyArmchair]

Right, I looked at the site and they didn't list stockists and only store listed is in Japan, do you have any recommendations for stockists in the UK?

[Faust]

Not sure, but I would imagine DSM London will have a nice selection. She does well in dept stores, so check the usual suspects like Selfridges.

[gawkrodger]

yeh, DSM and Selfridges both stock her. Not aware of anywhere else, but then I rarely go into purely women stores

[NoisyArmchair]

I'll head over and see if there's any in the coming week.

Thanks!

From Washington Post. Not the best article, unfortunately.
