Pastel Palette

Antonio Marras stamped his own signature onto the mainline collection as well as honouring Kenzo Takada's legacy at the 40th Anniversary Show.



Marras turns Japanese kimono textiles in a pastel palette weighted down with rusty tones of ochre. I love this idea so much. Japanese kimono textiles are normally in bold colours, but in this collection the textiles are much more fenminine, and still keeps it savor.

And it makes me think of a popular japanese street trend - mori girl, which means the 'forest' girl, who looks like she lives amongst cedar and pine trees lol.

laser cut x printing patterns on leather

An idea flash thru my mind suddenly.

These photo inspires me ...




I love these feminine elements, which I want to combine them. But not just use lace and floral fabric, maybe do laser cutting or magic touch paper printing on leather. Will do some experiment and find out is it work.


Love the edges of the pale pink top.

Computer Paper

As im doing kind of "OLD/AGED" stuffs, this linen inkjet fabric is so inspiring. Im thinking could I use it to wrap the heel or even for the upper (altho I would like to use leather for upper with a fabric wrapped wooden heel, I love those contrast thingy).
