About sacai

Sacai is a Tokyo label founded by Chitose Abe in 1999, after she trained at Comme des Garçons. Its signature is the hybrid: pieces spliced together, woollen knits set against fine wovens or technical fabrics, a top and a skirt or trousers joined into one garment. The results are unexpected shapes built from basic, classical cuts, and Abe takes her cues from her surroundings and daily life. The men's collection arrived in Spring 2009 with the same approach, and both lines now show in Paris. The first flagship opened in Minamiaoyama, Tokyo in 2011, designed with architect Sou Fujimoto. You'll find sacai at Dover Street Market London.
