Always the centre of the underground, artistic, fashion scene. Alice Auaa once again comes back with a collection that is not only more daring and a little more scary than the last, but is of Louise theatrical, cutting edge and everything Haute Couture is supposed to be. In an almost Tim Burton-esque atmosphere, the outfits are like the show, anything but tame.
Not known at a level in the UK or USA as it is in Japan, and probably because of the market. In the West we a lot more in favour of the 'normal' and 'edgey' pieces, where in Japan the more extreme, the more fashionable. Not a lot is known about the brand, apart from being very well regarded within Harijuku fashion markets. Well I think they should break the UK, and quick!
The collection screams dark and eary scene, with element of torture and death, but at least this provokes some sort of story and empathy on the consumer. Everything has been made to wow, and it really does. My favorite piece is the metal orbital, I do however feel it would look better on the first outfit, with the model and long hair of the fourth image up.
The majority of the garments seem to take a dark spin on the Victorian era. A lot of oversized and draped rippled bust blouses are used, a lot of high collars and pouffes on the arm. This of course is a compliment to the gothic past of England.
In my eyes a great collection, but is the UK ready for the dark and dismal?
