“Mitsuru Nishizaki Blends Tailored and Draped Fabrics, Inspired by Bruce Weber’s ‘Men & Women’ Series With a Modern Nomadic Vibe.”
Mitsuru Nishizaki's latest designs for Ujoh's Fall Winter 2024 Collection focus on layering and playful asymmetry to exude a sense of freedom and flow. Inspired by the fusion of tailored looks with draped fabrics, the collection seamlessly combines loose-flowing pieces with more structured ones for a more striking contrast. Square-shaped drapes and scarves add an edgy touch to each ensemble to enhance their intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from Bruce Weber's iconic 1983 photo series 'Men & Women,' in which models were wrapped in blankets and fabric, Ujoh's collection explores fabrics and forms. This vision comes to life through meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful layering techniques. Whether it is adding fuzzy textures or subtly altering a jacket, every piece is designed and styled for comfort. Fringes introduce movement to some designs while blending kimono-inspired shapes with military details giving the collection a boldness that resonates with younger audiences worldwide.
The slightly oversized proportions lend the collection a relaxed yet enduring appeal. This contemporary nomadic style encapsulates the essence of fashion and provides a modern interpretation of tailored looks perfectly suited to today's vibe.
