SACAI

This Japanese label was founded by Chitose Abe, who launched her company off the back of her extensive experience at Comme des Garçons. As can be discerned from this connection with the irreverent brand, Sacai is a quirky label that takes understated pieces and jazzes them up with intriguing details. The brand has a tendency to conjure up eclectic looks by splicing different fabrics together for an incongruous finish. Pleats are juxtaposed with sportswear inspirations for an exuberant approach to design, while sheer sections are placed on items with high necks or demure hemlines for a sultry feel with an offbeat twist. Loose, masculine silhouettes, meanwhile, are amped up by tulle fringing at the hem for a wonderfully playful aesthetic.
