After working at COMME des GARÇONS under Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe in the 1990’s, Japanese designer Chitose Abe founded her own label sacai in 1999. Her clothing reinterprets traditional silhouettes and frequently juxtaposes contrasting fabric textures, or splicing two items of clothing together to create a sum that is greater than it’s parts, establishing a three-dimensional effect. Celebrated for it’s fresh, experimental style and feel, sacai’s signature look is part sporty and part edgy with a touch of haute couture.
