Miyashita: Room with a view


Who would have imagined that, for his farewell collection for Number (N)ine, designer Takahiro Miyashita would find his inspiration in the curtains, carpets, and ornaments of a hotel room in Alaska? Everything is right there, actually: the upholstery brocades, the ornamented buttons taken right from a sofa... one can go on and on.

One thing is certain: the room was probably not very large, as the collection is called called "A closed feeling". Was that the reason for conceling the faces of the models?


Ornate, nineteenth century-like jackets and coats make us think of a rather old fashioned and somewhat kitschy decoration for that hotel. A closer look (in an up-coming posting) will show us some very original details, though.
