The collection featured, Kanno’s expert silk-screening techniques to design an original arrow print which symbolizes the Samurai’s weapon of choice – “the arrow, over the sword”. For Fall, we saw a warm color palette of full of blues, rich caramel and cream, shimmering silver, charcoal and deep burgundy.
The traditional samurai warrior uniform gets a very modern and casual look, my favorites were the short, double-breasted, wool Yoroi Warrior Coat, with Samurai-inspired cape shoulders (cape shoulders have been popping up in several shows) seen in charcoal, black and herringbone, paired with a chic Wa-knit sweatshirt and a new signature “Hakama” skirt, a heavy wool charcoal caplet with rich wine colored mesh leather details and Kanno’s signature gathered knee-length shorts in herringbone and mesh leather.
