sacai introduced its latest collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2023 season on the runways of Paris Fashion Week recently. It is packed with unusual shapes and authentic styling that is true to the brand's design aesthetics as Chitose Abe continues to expand her signature looks. She turns her attention to creating "a sense of informality to silhouettes" for the season by using materials to honor tradition. The menswear shapes breach into new archetypes as it is described to be “a new creative energy and sartorial nonchalance.” The brand also connects with artist Eric Haze once again to mark the collection with playful prints and decorative embroidery details that can be seen on some of the seasonal pieces.
