Dear Shaded Viewers,
A few years ao Ohta Masataka was one of the designers in the competition at the festival d’Hyeres. The atmosphere around his collection was as intense as it was serene. As knit wizard, Sandra Backlund, put it. “His work is like his religion. First the seduction and then the embrace.”
His idea of beauty: “To me beauty is the dynamic that reflects mortality. When we understand that nothing lasts forever, we can be more humble and thankful in our silent heart. Strong and simple, that is my idea of beauty.”
