On March 26th, mimic +8 PARIS ROCK, a brand created by designer Hiroshi Takikawa (aka Croquette) and Kenichi Kakinuma, held their 2013-14 Autumn/Winter collection show at Crème de la Crème in Sendagaya as part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo. The theme was "CRAZY HORSES," inspired by the Parisian strip theater. Sachiko Kobayashi appeared in the front row. Croquette, dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono, performed a skit to the laughter of the audience as the show began. All models appeared wearing domino masks. Their outfits featured rock and glamorous pieces, including leather jackets, mouton coats, checked shirts, and studded denim jackets, all layered with ultra-sexy lingerie from Ravijour. Half of the models, pole dancers, not only walked but also danced, creating an entertaining and seductive show. The items were a mix of men's and women's, with male items also worn by female models. The collection, which was released last December, was further expanded to project a more "rock" image. Croquette himself also directed the show. "I want to have a lot of fun every time. I want customers to remember that if they come to Mimic, they'll enjoy entertainment. I also plan to include some small jokes that aren't related to the opening fashion show. Ordinary is boring; it has to be exciting. I considered having the models strip, but decided against it because I thought it would be vulgar. It has to be tasteful and erotic," he explained. Croquette has also officially announced his participation in this fall's Tokyo Fashion Week. "There aren't many funny adults these days. Young comedians are also tame. I want to always be a crazy horse," he said of his future aspirations.
