Hanae Mori manuscrit presented their 2016-17 Autumn/Winter collection on March 15th at Shibuya Hikarie Hall A. A single flower in the shadows. The prologue kicked off with a dreamy video in which the flower blended with sound and light. The theme was "The Fusion of Inorganic and Organic." A burgundy-based wardrobe emerged from the introductory video, like a fluttering petal. The styling featured contrasting materials like knitwear and faux leather. Asymmetrical wrap skirts, dresses constructed with gathers and tucks, and wavy faux fur with a fringe-like sheen were featured. The meticulous silhouettes were so striking that the models' movements down the runway were like flowers swaying in the wind. Following burgundy were colors like black and peacock green. The unprecedented use of dark colours was emphasised by the patterns and silhouettes that the designer is known for.

From the middle of the show, a dress with bold and vivid prints of flowers was introduced. The black satin fabric fluttered softly with every step, and was cut to reveal the shoulders and arms, creating a strong impression and portraying an elegant woman with a touch of elegance.

Then, as if drawn by the flowers, a butterfly series appeared. The colourful butterflies, cast on wool material, were prints taken with a mobile phone camera. Also striking was the butterfly arrangement, created by gathering fabric together on a single piece of fabric.
