ANREALAGE: Futuristic, technological fashion

Today's designers are definitely pushing the boundaries when it comes to fashion. After Coperni's vaporized dress, everyone is talking about ANREALAGE's show at Paris Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2023, which featured garments that change color using ultraviolet light.

Who is Kunihiko Morinaga?

Born in Kunitachi City, Tokyo, in 1980, Kunihiko Morinaga graduated from Waseda University's School of Social Sciences in 2003, attended the Vantan Institute of Design during his student years and created "ANREALAGE" upon graduation.

The brand name "ANREALAGE" is made up of three words: "Real", "Unreal", and "Age". The Japanese brand stems from a desire to create everyday clothing, while using out-of-the-ordinary concepts where technology is constantly present.

During the latest Autumn-Winter 2023 Fashion Week, the designer at the helm of artistic direction Kunihiko Morinaga challenged himself to push back the boundaries of fashion.

Indeed, the designer adopts cutting-edge technologies to create a new kind of fashion, using light-reflecting materials and futuristic patterns such as spheres and cubic shapes.

For his Autumn-Winter 2023 collection, Kunihiko Morinaga unveiled a spectacular show that left his catwalk guests speechless.

The outfits produced by the designer change color, revealing prints and other reliefs.

All this is possible thanks to the photosensitive fabrics developed by the designer and the photochromy process, which uses UV rays to reveal unsuspected colors.

ANREALAGE shows are truly immersive, collaborative spectacles. The designer's creations oscillate between the real and virtual worlds.

The designer will present his next collection on Tuesday September 26 in Paris at Fashion Week Womenswear SS24.
