AKIRA NAKA has unveiled the looks for his 2016 Pre-Fall collection. The collection, which features a more free-thinking approach to silhouettes and details, diverges from the traditional concept-based approach by using more intuitive ideas and shapes born from simple collages. The brand focuses on the newness born from unconventional methods, such as expressing denim fabric through wool weaves and adding net patterns and embroidery to cut-and-sew pieces. AKIRA NAKA is a brand launched by designer AKIRA NAKA under the name "POESIE" in 2007. The label changed its name to AKIRA NAKA in the 2009 Spring/Summer season. The brand's strengths lie in the richness of its textiles and the cut lines that highlight them. Based on the theme of ready-to-wear for everyday wear, the brand offers couture-like knitwear that combines Scandinavian and Japanese hand-knit techniques.
