Japanese Designer'S Dream Of Paris

The combination of rationality and insanity, the unity of refinement and wildly, the beauty of Paris is full of contradictions, attracting many designers and artists to take root and live together.

Seiichiro Shimamura and Yoshiko Kajitani are the two Japanese designers who present their creativity on the stage of fashion capital.

The former set up the 0044 PARIS clothing brand more than 10 years ago. The latter entered the famous Colette store in 1999. The personal jewellery brand Yoshiko Creation Paris has been followed by many celebrities.

Similarly, the brand "Paris" is also from Japan, and the beauty of the East meets the west makes them unique in the competitive fashion world of Paris.

The designer Seiichiro Shimamura (Shimamura Seiichiro) is trying to create a unique aesthetic standard that is exclusively his own -- a strong sense of existence, sensitive and delicate.

"Revolutionary romanticism" is the main axis of the overall design of its 0044 Paris brand.

Shimamura Seiichiro left the land in Paris more than 10 years ago and left it, so he rooted his studio in Paris ten years ago.

0044 all works of PARIS brand are designed and produced here.

"I am deeply attracted by the beauty of Paris.

The city is beautiful in physics, but extremely cynical in its ethos. I love this paradox, which is why I settled here.

"0044 PARIS" is the first time he came to Paris, and also laid the foundation for this fashion brand.

Clothing works with a strong sense of retro, regardless of men's or women's wear has a loose pendant profile, dark color and complement each other.

2011 the spring and summer series added the printing elements to the original dark colors.

"We regard our own fashion series as a complete story, or that our works are highly narratives.

The plot I outlined requires the joint interpretation of the leading actor and the heroine.

Most of the inspiration for men's and women's design works comes from my personal memory, what I have seen and the reserves in my mind, and sometimes it is something that I am impressed and can never forget.

"The inspiration for this season is gained during my observation of the life of lower Paris residents.

Some of my neighbors are artists, some are artisans, people of different races come out of different cultural backgrounds and form a new social integration after Paris.

Their bustling life often attracts me deeply.

I want to show to the public through this series: fashion is real, it is open to everyone, it is a tool to help you become the kind of person you want to be.

Although in Paris for more than 10 years, the design of Shimamura still bears traces of Japanese aesthetics.

His designs often use dark colors to show the theme of "live and die forever".

For Shimamura.

Yoshiko Kajitani designs jewelry for women who are brave souls.

Yoshiko Kajitani, a successful jewelry designer, has officially started his career since he was 21 years old and worked as an assistant at high jewellery studio.

Her jewellery brand Yoshiko Creation Paris has been able to show her complexity and magnificence as if it were designed for a beautiful woman with a brave soul.

At present, Yoshiko's shop is in Paris Colette.

Recently, she also participated in the movie Dazed &Confused, designed by Nicola Formichetti and Thierry Mugler.

The accessories of Yoshiko Creation Paris are sought after by many Japanese artists and performing arts celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Mika Nakajijma, Ryo and Kajitani.

In addition, she has worked with many well-known brands including Yamamoto Teruji's Y brand, Swarovski, Converse and so on.

The inspiration of Yoshiko is so great that the decoration from her family is obvious.

Skeletons, pearls, flowers are combined in the feminine pink tones.

"I get inspiration from the whole universe.

Everything around us, all life, emotions, the earth itself, the voice of the brain...

It's the source of my inspiration. "

At first, the basic concept of Yoshiko was to make avant-garde works.

"I want to combine the skills of the old style craftsmen with the classic fashion items, and create new things.

That's the perfect combination of advanced clothing and advanced customization.

At the same time, I think jewelry is more creative than fashion. This is also the reason why I started jewelry design.

2011 the inspiration from the spring and summer series comes from all parts of the human body. Its background concept is "revival" - symbolizing the rebirth of the body.

Yoshiko frankly, the customers who can accept these avant-garde accessories are beautiful women with brave souls.

"They are tolerant, tolerant, willing to speak out their minds and have a unique position in the world.

All in all, they are strong, Frank women.

In her client list, you can see from Lady Gaga to Princess Stephanie of Monaco, from the count of Polynesian to the royal family of Morocco, to the Asian pop singer and a host of celebrities.

Most of the time, Yoshiko in Paris seems to be a sponge, drawing inspiration from Japanese and European designers.

Here, people judge everything by their intuition, not by the rules they are told.

How wonderful it is for fashion to be rooted in such a special city and become a culture. "

Talking about the cooperation with Japanese master Yamamoto Teruji, Yoshiko is always in the air: "creating a perfect piece of work together is like a love affair.

Choose the image I may use, start with a rough idea, and then proceed to detail design step by step.

For designers who collaborate with each other, design is their language, and the heart understands what the other person wants to express. This is the most interesting thing in collaborative creation.

"Sometimes, the design is very sophisticated. We need to understand the creations of the older designers and artists."

She said.
