S/S 2011 Suzuki Takayuki_Tokyo

Suzuki Takayuki in his showroom

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Suzuki Takayuki showed both his men's and women's collection in black and natural. The idea was to rework his past collections which draw upon vintage looks but made modern. Everything is soft and poetic. He is a collector of antique lace and from the moment Akiko Hamaoka saw this dress she has been trying to figure out how to get it into her closet. Suzuki also creates wedding dresses.

Akiko is trying to figure out how this dress can end up in her closet

I am quite fond of this piece, in black of course.
