BEAUTY: Clothing--Taakk

Japanese designer Takuya Morikawa started his brand Taakk in 2012 after working with legendary house Issey Miyake for seven years. And the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has admitted him to show during Paris Fashion Week (his debut collection was last year for Fall Winter '21)!

This Spring Summer '22 collection is textile-centric and speaks to a sense of flowing luxury and soft sophistication. Morikawa uses blurred tie-dye floral prints, jacquard lilies, and embroidered cherry blossoms to evoke a sense of the natural world while the garments shimmer and drape. The satin shine and jersey draping all feel languid and soft yet somehow the cut of the garments themselves feel dressy and special!


Take a look at this official video for this collection in which Morikawa beautifully explains his inspiration and speaks about chance in nature...it's moving and lovely. And it's a great opportunity to see these special garments up close and listen to Morikawa's explanation of how he created hybrid fabrics and pieces.
