Nozomi Ishiguro . As tears go by
The first thing I noticed about Nozomi Ishiguro is his curriculum vitae of course! He worked for several years for the most talentend Japanese fashion designer: Comme des Garcons, JUNYA WATANABE comme des Garcons and tricot comme des Garcons. Nozomi is a visionary, he has created a very eclectic collection, clothes which do not go unnoticed. What I see in his creations are really charming solutions, details that show how much research has gone into it and its experimental nature. Nozomi chose the song of Marianne Faithfull “As tears go by” as theme for his collection.
Of course some looks are quite pompous to choose for an everyday outfit, but with the right combination one can create some spectacular and eccentric solutions (only if Calvin Klein is not your personal mith). A designer who’s out of the ordinary thanks to his complex palette of colors and fabrics, some characters came out directly from his imagination … and what imagination it is! It would be interesting to see the imaginary world of Nozomi. He reminds me somehow of Mariko Mori. Although they have really different styles, I feel they live in a similar visionary world when creating; two artists who anticipate a language that does not exist.
What I like most of this collection are the knit leggins, quilted skirts and jackets and the black laced socks of the past collection. I suggest you have a look at the spring lookbook as well. He has used the warm high quality materials as Knit-Faux fur and cashmere. In order to have an overview of the eclectic style that move Nozomi Ishiguro work, I’ll post also some photos of the past collections. Enjoy it!
