Children of he Discordance presented a second release of its Autumn\/Winter \u201921 collection at Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo teaming up with Face A\/J<\/p>\n
A second realest of DAWN, Children of The Discordance\u2019s Autumn\/Winter \u201921 collection, was presented in Tokyo within Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo\u2019s calendar as part of Face A\/J initiatives. \u201cSince last July we started showing in Milan, but these season I felt it was right to present both in Milan and Tokyo, as a way to connect more closely with Japanese audience and with our Tokyo community in this time of closure. It was also, I guess, a way to celebrate the return of the autumn\/winter edition of Rakuten fashion week, which was cancelled one year ago due to the pandemic\u201d said Hideaki Shikama, Children of the discordance\u2019s creative director. The event took the format of a physical runway and was held on March 19th at 15:30 (Tokyo Time) at Tokyo National Museum Hyokeikan in Ueno, Tokyo. \u201cThrough my last digital shows at Milan fashion week, I presented the contemporary and modern side of west Tokyo, the street-culture of Harajuku, Shibuya and Daikanyama, which represents the surrounding around our headquarter and a huge part of Children of the discordance\u2019s identity. Having the chance to hold a physical show in Tokyo, I wanted to reconnect with the other side of the city, the east and \u201cdowntown\u201d side of Tokyo to re-contextualise the AW21 dawn collection. Downtown Tokyo is the hearth of craftsmanship, is where our production atelier and many sewing and dyeing factories we work with are located. It represents the city\u2019s cultural heritage and a more serene environment where I can concentrate on my creations. This shows celebrates old Tokyo, its past and heritage, through a historical and emblematic location such as Hyokeikan\u201d according to the designer. As a further trait d\u2019union with Milan release, Japanese artist Hideyoshi, main performer in Children of the discordance AW21 fashion film dawn released in January on the occasion of Milan fashion week, appeared in the show to close the line up in turquoise dyed hair as a tribute to the collection tittle dawn and to the Tokyo release seasonal colour shade.
