The opening fifteen pieces were a series of dark, single-tone looks in black and occasionally navy. Familiar styles were presented without anything particularly new, yet with the appearance of a micro skirt composed of leather belts, the atmosphere changed. There was a pair of pants, seemingly designed inside-out, along with styles featuring small incongruities, the kind that could interfere with the peace and order of everyday life. Upon closer inspection, an asymmetrical skirt wrapped with a black belt was actually made from a T-shirt and a T-shirt dress. The hoodie that followed had a shortened hem, created by folding its lower section. Next was a tank top with one randomly cut shoulder and a shirt that can be worn as a halter neck, its straps hidden beneath the collar. The powerful series ended with the fifteenth piece, which had a sense of incongruity born from the pairing of a sporty tracksuit with luxurious fur boots.

The show continued with some unexpected surprises: a checkered shirt with unusually spaced-out buttons, a pair of denim pants designed to be worn backwards, and a shirt with an extremely long collar and cuffs. These were accompanied by pieces inspired by uniforms worn for baseball, fencing, racing, football, rugby and other sports. The mixture of styles was astonishing, sending waves of absurdity and incongruity through the audience. Most striking of all was the show’s finale. The pure white ruffle dress was contrasted by solid black and red lines across the waist, which appeared rather bizarre at first. However, it soon became apparent it was a logo for Reebok, a collaborator on the collection. The result was a piece that truly captured the playful spirit of Masanori Morikawa.
