This season, HATRA collaborated with Yuma Kishi, a contemporary artist who deploys AI to create data-driven digital work. The collection’s title, “DIAPHANERA,” takes its name from a generative AI model trained by Kishi on an image library of agate and other mineraloids. The model transforms or “crystallizes” any input—for example, jacquard knits and silkscreen patterns of collections past—into abstract graphics with a geological effect. This intriguing concept was applied to plumb designs from the brand’s archive as well as new sketches by Nagami. Transcending by place and time, the resulting visuals brim with a liminal energy that injected a powerful dynamism to the runway.
