朝霧があたり一面に立ち込める早春の長野。その先に、かすかに感じるのは、淡いピンクや藤色をまとった新しい生命の気配。雪解けを待ち侘びるようにつぎつぎと芽吹く草花の速度に思いを巡らせると、少しずつ蘇る、儚くも美しい春の記憶。
輪郭を捉えようとするたびに、ふわっとどこかへ消えてしまう。曖昧な春の情景が記憶の中でゆっくりと溶け合い「私の春」を描き始める。
長野で過ごした幼少期の記憶。そして、ブランド設立10周年を経て、改めてその風土や歴史と向きあうことでうまれる新しい眼差し。過去と現在がゆるやかに交差する瞬間「私の春」が生地や糸へと姿を変えます。
黒河内真衣子が故郷で感じた春の息吹は、自身のルーツを巡りながら春の色やテクスチャーを探す物語「Land」の始まりを告げます。
Early spring, Nagano. The morning dew laid across the land, and in the distance faintly sensing life coloured in light pink to wisteria. Flowers, one after another, begin sprouting awaiting for snow to melt, and at this sight, one ponders, slowly but surely reminiscing the memory of spring.
Trying to capture the outline, they disappear in a fluff. The vague spring scene melts slowly together with my memory, creating ‘My Spring’.
The childhood memory spent in Nagano. The 10th anniversary of the establishment of the brand, facing nature and history gives the collection a new look. As the past and present gradually cross paths, ‘My Spring’ transforms into threads and fabric.
The touch of spring air Maiko Kurogouchi felt in her hometown, signals the beginning of her journey ‘Land’ to her roots in search of spring palletes and textures.
