Founded in 1999 by Chitose Abe, who previously designed for Comme des Garçons and Junya Watanabe, Sacai is a Japanese luxury brand built on the concept of hybridization. Abe’s design process involves splicing together different garments and contrasting fabric textures—like knits with fine wovens—to create unexpected, three-dimensional shapes that feel both experimental and timeless. The brand deconstructs and reconstructs familiar items, turning classic silhouettes into unique, multifaceted pieces that can be worn in daily life. While Abe’s collections are intellectually complex, her focus remains on creating real clothes that she herself would want to wear.
