On October 18th, Lautashi was selected as part of the "AT TOKYO" program and performed their first installation. Designer Emi Suzuki approached Yoichi Ochiai with the request to "create a time machine of light," and the three of them, along with KAITO SAKUMA a.k.a. BATIC, created an otherworldly space.
The sounds of wind and the hustle and bustle echoed in the pitch-black space. Light images were projected onto seven digital signage screens, and as the venue lights came on, 15 models emerged. The ever-changing light and shadows captured by Ochiai Yoichi - sunlight filtering through the trees, reflected sunrises and sunsets, neon lights at night - pass over the clothes of the models. Ochiai says, "Light is present in the daily lives of anyone living in a city. I abstracted the sunlight filtering through the trees of Omotesando, the car lights, Matsuya, 7-Eleven and Lawson into light."
"Lautashi is clothing that you wear every day, and I want it to be something that brings energy to your everyday life," says Emi Suzuki. The destination of Lautashi's time machine was everyone's everyday life, and it contained the ``power of fashion'' that Suzuki Emi herself felt and wanted to share.
The heavens and earth, which are the design sources for this season, are scattered throughout in the form of spreading constellation prints, the stone-motif Kyoto Yuzen dyeing technique called Sumi-Nagashi, earth-like jacquard knit and flocked prints on mesh, and details with slits and fraying.
