création A.H.R

Tokyo-based fashion label création A.H.R by Ayanari Hidaka and Rieko Higuchi.

'This season's création A.H.R collection theme is "NO".
"NO" is a traditional Japanese art, which is as well internationally known as "KABUKI".

The performers of "NO" wear the different masks depend on the play, and they choose the clothes and the decorations that go well with them.We created the original graphics and embroidery based on the principal masks of "NO"; the mask of "KOOMOTE" that represents woman, the mask of "OKINA" that represents blessing god, and the mask of "HANNYA" that represents damon.

We also made original fabrics with the patterns inspired by the traditional designs such as; "UROKOMON" : scales of snake, "RAIDEN" : thunder, "CHIDORI" : plover.Straight lines, "HAKAMA" trousers style skirt, blouson with "KIMONO" sleeves, shirt with "RAIDEN" motif, etc. We used "NO" style everywhere, mixed with casual and mode style, to produce création A.H.R collection.'
