Sacai's latest collection was about tying together a collection of disparate influences together - or in some cases, un-tying them, like those bowties that were left hanging around the models necks. There were references to the tropics a la palm tree'd shirts to The Big Lebowski. In-between, there were new take son tailoring and the bucket hat, which got an update via an elongated side that turned it into a semi-wide-brimmed hat like one might see on the beach.

Sacai's charm comes in the form of its effortless style and the way the label is able to fuse disparate patterns, silhouettes and more into cohesive looks. For FW19, that was evidenced by the mixed pattern coats, nylon jumpsuits with duck boots or a furry coat with varying levels of pile.

Sacai's SS19 collection had all the trapping for boho-chic perfection, with cool wrap around blankets, draped layers and a roomy silhouette which offered a sense of liberation - something we've seen plenty of this season. Though just stopping short of such cool perfection was the problematic usage of tribal patterns and headwear in the collection - the latter used to complete a look with no real design viewpoint. Just another example of the fashion world taking from other cultures and profiting from it without giving back to those that "inspired" them.

"Truth. It's more important than ever." was plastered on a shirt at Sacai, as well as on the breast of a blouson. It was a political statement from Chitose Abe, the designer at Sacai. So, what is the truth? Was it told at this collection? Her truth was laid bare in the layers upon layers of clothing shown from fringe-heavy outfits to chic layers of mixed-pattern tailored garments. A nomadic and almost post-apocalyptic vibe ran through this collection and unlike other collections that have a similar theme, Abe's latest outing sees a positive outcome of this apocalypse, maybe after all the dust has settled, that's when the truth comes out and stays put.

Sacai's pattern-friendly Spring/Summer 2018 collection was rooted in utility, seen in the relaxed and fluid cuts of the clothes, as well as the accessories the models sported down the runway.

We live in a digital world, one where each iteration of the next smartphone offers more and more pixels, creating an even more vivid picture. So, upon seeing Sacai's pixelated camouflage patterns, the collection's kitschy take on culture shined through. As did the Japanese label's collaboration with The North Face, a curious happenstance since Junya Watanabe offered a collaboration with the same brand yesterday. One would think that Watanabe or Sacai would secure an exclusivity contract, at the very least that no other label would offer a collaboration within the same fashion week and season. Nevertheless, Sacai's puffer offerings offered texture and a military inspiration so the two collaborations are quite different. The rest of the collection was a cacophony of layers and mixed fabrics to create chic layered looks.

Sacai's latest collection was inspired by the dystopian-themed film and novel A Clockwork Orange, whose plot follows a band of misfits as they wreak havoc wherever they go. It was then surprising to see such lightness in the collection, though there were multiple layers, some looking quite heavy and off-season, the inspiration and the resulting clothing were not of the same dsytopic realm. In any effect, the armor-like moto jackets, hot purple jumpsuits, and the very cool patterns utilized gave the collection a feel of trying to escape rather than trying to find and create trouble.

Sacai's Chitose Abe seems to know that life is messy and discombobulated, the perfect outfit on the runway is never quite as pristine without the help of dressers, stylists, and groomers. Her latest collection was full of imperfect clothes that were stitched together to make busy looks that were oddly charming.

When Japanese label Sacai decided to show its first men's runway show for SS16, there are inherently lots of expectations: not only does the collection have to be good - it was - but it must also be entertaining and engaging. That's what Sacai's designer , Chitose Abe, did today. The collection's free and celebratory vibe came in all shapes and forms, from chunky Buffalo plaid to sleek and smartly cut jackets. A tropical theme also emerged, thanks to leis around the models necks, while foliage-printed bermudas brought the idea home.  Globalism is here and it's not going away and when done right, like it was here, the result is often times marvelous: the merging of different cultures, ideas, and dressing to create a symbiotic fusion of humanity.

Sacai's latest interpretation of classic menswear took a sober and simpler route for Fall/Winter 2014. Details were important to the pared back collection: take the slim fitting puffers, raw-edged joggers and padded bottoms. Brimmed hats added a bit of nostalgia from the 40s and 50s while fluid scarves, blankets and ponchos brought the collection to the modern era, where normcore is still a thing.

Experimental tailoring could easily describe most of Sacai's collection. The label is unafraid to tear something apart only to re-create it into something different and unique. For its SS15 collection, it was all about melding different fabrics and menswear staples to create something just a bit off kilter. It's a risky endeavor but the label's Chitose Abe usually succeeds in creating something enviable. This season, it included geometric patterns resembled camouflage, sporty pants with ribbed legs and a host of roomy coats.

Sacai's collection is always a pleasure as the designer, Chitose Abe, chooses quirky design details to really make the clothes stand out against the melange of black so often seen on the runway. For Fall/Winter 2014, she took staples we've seen this season, like varsity jackets and somber topcoats, and added her own spin, like silk linings, geometric patterns and grosgrain details. A sailor inspired duffle coat was also quite fetching in its masculinity.
