The charm of "noir = black" brought about by shadows
Kei Ninomiya focused on the noir = black brought by the shadows this season.
The charm of "noir = black" ノワール（＝黒） brought about by shadows
Rather than simply using the color "black", by using the obscure black, which is invisible in reality, as the leading role, it brings fragility and at the same time paradoxically, it is a certain existence that can be felt because of the shadow. I emphasized the feeling and the strength there.
Black world" created by beige
Beige is used as the basic color. Ninomiya says that the color is deep because it is elusive, and it is expressed by a delicate fabric that promotes ambiguous nuances. Black, which is created by the myriad overlaps of ribbons and frills, sways in tandem with the body, and there is no black that is the same for a moment. That's why it's ridiculously mysterious.
A dress that completely covers the body with tulle reflects the lines of the body vaguely in its gentle silhouette, and a dress with a series of spheres shaped by a soft squeeze sways fluffy and is likened. Creates a gentle shadow without a shadow. The brand logo with a full pattern used as a new expression is a means to add strength.
Underlying is a strict clothing structure
The impression is that a strict silhouette is used for the axis that makes up the clothes. A good example is a corset-like silhouette and a bondage belt with tulle dancing at the tip. There must be a disciplined foundation for the creation of a new black with an unrealistic shadow. Otherwise, the certainty of existence cannot be born. In order to pursue depth, we must pursue what is the basis of it, which makes us feel the deepening of certain clothing.
And the ultimate beauty of this season, which was born on that basis, resides in a dress that is too delicate and completed only with metal wires. The dress, which is completed only with the skeleton, conveys the energy of the clothes only with the silhouette and shadow created by the thin lines, without covering it with the cloth. It is an elegant piece with the utmost fragility and strength.

“For this collection, black is expressed through shadows.
I wanted to express the ephemeral strength and beauty of things that are
present around us although we cannot see them clearly.” - Kei Ninomiya
