The Fall / Winter 2020 collection has a theme of "EMBRACING" that deepens the theme of "wrapping" that has continued from the previous season, and has attempted to reproduce the feeling of "a soft basket that wraps people."

Following the previous season that started with Oka Hideyuki's book "Wrap", this season also got inspiration from the book. Oka's hand-knitted baskets and the natural lattice patterns created by them made me feel the “crystals of wisdom born from everyday life”. Traveling from there, in the vast nature of Iceland, Kurokawachi recognized himself as being protected by being wrapped in a basket called Earth, covering the body that is the core of the collection, and tracing to the shape of a protected basket. It has arrived.

The color palette that colors the runway is earthy with black, ecru, and brownish brown. Iceland's respect for nature has been transformed into a floral motif that colors the details of the collection, and the memory of the morning dew that reflects and shines the sun is transformed into shiny tops and pants with shiny film materials. The silhouette of the upper body that wraps the body round and the cuffs that were taken longer are striking by being layered, and a variety of cord embroidery born from a single line inspired by Mizuhiki's technique is bold on the jacket, sleeves It was carefully incorporated and attracted the attention of the audience.

Jewelry is also inspired by the vast nature. Earrings, chokers and bangles designed in gold add glamor to the understated color palette. Cord embroidery is also applied to pouches and shoes. In addition to the brand's first backpack, the iconic PVC bag has a variety of accessories, such as a seasonal brown appearance.

In addition, leather sandals appear from a collaborative collection with Tod's (Tods) scheduled to be released in March. The motif reminiscent of the traditional Japanese sashimi was carefully applied by Italian artisans, giving a high-quality elegance.
