With rocket ventures and satellite businesses a hot topic and space travel becoming a reality, THEATER PRODUCTS unveiled its 2016-17 Autumn/Winter collection under the theme "UNNATURAL - Preparing for the Moon." Each season, this "theatrical" brand develops conceptual pieces based on elaborate themes, evoking a futuristic vibe reminiscent of the 1980s New Wave. Paradoxical motifs, shapes, and materials permeate the entire season. Art Deco motifs are featured prominently in the contrasts and combinations of unnatural and unnatural elements found in nature, such as a coat dress with an organic silhouette encasing a faux fur knit, a long alpaca cardigan with a ponytail and leather belt tying the waist, two fox tippets, and a ponytail zebra-print dress.

The theme of the collection is "UNNATURAL," and it's fun to see items like the aluminum packaging for beef curry, a space food, and a rocket capsule-shaped bag, which are fitting for getting ready for a trip to the moon.

The music, which entertains us every season, was entirely handled by multi-solo performer Tucker this time. The performance began with scratching on the turntable, and was an improvisation in which he over-recorded the electric organ, bass, drums, and guitar all by himself. The collection, which layered various forms from dresses layered with laser-cut embroidery to layered pants styles, and the "mismatched harmony" resonated beautifully in the live performance.
