ANREALAGE

SPRING/SUMMER 2025 COLLECTION

“WIND”

What does WIND look like?

Building on his legacy of exploring frontiers between fashion and technology, Kunihiko Morinaga for Spring/Summer 2025 contemplates the art of dressing ̶ and undressing ̶ with help from the WIND, using the natural movement of air to breathe life into clothing, sculpt new silhouettes and render the invisible visible.

Offering a characteristically playful technological solution to increasingly scorching summers in Japan and beyond, the designer conjures a ‘cool-wear’ wardrobe that literally refreshes. Shaped by WIND and yet windproof, these pieces ̶ designed in collaboration with KUCHOFUKU, a Japanese pioneer in fan-equipped, air-conditioned utilitarian garments ̶ are cut from a specially developed airtight material made from the thinnest of nylon fabrics, weighing no more than 23 grams per square meter, and woven from threads so fine they measure about one-third the thickness of a hair.

With the click of a button, WIND generated by tiny, embedded fans inflate dresses to Un-Real proportions, evoking creatures from another world. Like windsocks, looks sprout unexpected forms, such as wings or bubble volumes.

Windbreaker jackets in graphic color-block combinations both contain the WIND and protect against it, transforming garments into thermo-protective shields, while startling ‘couture’ looks in windproof organza and bonded tweed offer a quirky spin on formal dress, the clothes blowing up into extraordinary full forms or hanging softly in a cascade of delicate draping guided by gravity.

A selection of looks produced using Kyocera’s FOREARTH sustainable inkjet printing technology with water-free concept feature vibrant abstract motifs that form shifting patterns. Like magical colored clouds, their WIND-filled shapes constantly evolve from their initial natural state, flowing like petals as the models cross the runway, their whimsical ventilated volumes dancing in the air.

Blending fun with technological solutions to adapt to the new challenges of life on Earth, Kunihiko Morinaga’s poetically bizarre and deeply positive vision of the future once again tickles the imagination, opening the door to a surreal yet viable universe. The Real World meets the Un-Real World, propelled by the invisible, unpredictable force that is the WIND.
