COTOO's 2013-2014 Autumn/Winter collection show was held at Shibuya Hikarie on March 18th. Designer Shuzo Hayashi. The theme was "Istanbul - Silk Road." Motifs inspired by the ruins and townscapes of the Silk Road were used in the patterns and prints. Starting with soft, pale tones like beige pink, beige, gray, and ice blue, the collection transitioned to navy blue, red, black, brown, and turquoise. The collection featured extremely light tweed with a twill weave. Casual wear, such as a down jacket that flared toward the hem and a quilted flared skirt, was given an elegant touch. The show concluded with a crimson look. "I wanted the world to see the excellence of Japanese tailoring, the quality of Japanese technology, and the qualities of Japanese women. I wanted to express a strong, beautiful woman. I believe that if women are strong and energetic, the future will be a better time, and I incorporated that into my designs. I draw inspiration from the gestures of Japanese women when I create my clothes," said Hayashi.
