Kiyoshi Yu Chiba x JW ANDERSON | Distortion and equilibrium. Toward an intricate and beautiful world

Traditional dresses and strange distortions coexist
Glossy and unconventional silhouette

The Men's Autumn Winter and Women's Pre-Fall 2024 of "JW ANDERSON" is the first fantasy collection inspired by movies. I was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's work "I's Wide Shut" (1999). Paintings, curtains, poinsettia, red, etc., which are treated as symbolic details in the film, are incorporated into the collection, and paintings drawn by Cubrik's wife Christiene Cubrik are impressively incorporated. The protagonist, a wealthy doctor, is upset one night when his wife confesses that he has been attracted to another man. As he wandered around the city at night with calmness, he heard from his friends about a secret gathering (Kamenbutokai) and eventually immersed himself in the forbidden world.……。 In the collection, the intricate atmosphere of this film is exuded with non-standard big silhouettes, strangely arranged sleeves, shirts with distorted silhouettes of huge sleeves, etc., and the glossy atmosphere of men and women dressed as masked dance parties was expressed with a smooth material coat and tuxedo shirt.

Traditional men's clothing is not planned
Crush it oversize

"I like Cubrick very much. Because I'm my favorite movie director, I thought I would choose a good thing for the collection. "The 2001 Space Journey" is the most favorite video of all films. It's not a story but a video."

The oversized double jacket worn by Ki Yu Chiba is one of the symbols of this season of JW ANDERSON. The red, which is impressively used in the interior of the movie, was combined with a Velvet fabric reminiscent of classic interiors such as curtains and sofas. At first glance, it looks like traditional men's clothing, but it is a free atmosphere like JW ANDERSON with a panquish counterculture of London.

Draw a beautiful and dark fantasy
An exquisite silhouette that looks like everything is distorted

The Siertop worn by Chiba is printed with paintings of flowers planted in pots drawn by Christieanne (the wife of Cubrick). The slim fit top that emphasizes the body line is stylish with relaxed fit denim and bright red oversized V-neck cardigan. The exquisite balance that everything is distorted but kept is a silhouette that makes you feel the essence of this season's JW ANDERSON.

"The image of red is blood, isn't it? My favorite color is other than black. I'm talking about clothes, but there's a time when I'm wearing black all the time. So, when I decided to stop wearing black, I didn't want to wear black. If you compare yourself to a color……It's blue. Blue, light blue, turquoise, yellow, red, orange, pink, transparent, rainbow - rainbow. I'm a rainbow. Because it's all except black."

What is the shape of Yu Chiba Ki?
Surrounded by friends who have not changed since childhood

A DM that spells various worries sent from the general public through SNS. It is said that there were times when they responded to each person. Now, as his own program, he goes all over the country to lend courage to others. The answer as if you were shy. What is the shape of him?

——What do you think was most influenced by your childhood in forming your current self?
"The Leader of the End of the Century, Takeshi!" That's right. I feel like the Bible, in me. That's what I formed. If you read this manga, you can see "Oh, that's why he feels like that," maybe (laughs)."

——By the way, what kind of father is Chiba at home? How do you treat your child?
"It's normal, like this. I feel like I'm talking with people."

——Do you have anything you want to do in the future?
"I want a building. Fill the building with what you like. I like cars, but I can put three cars, billiards, and play table tennis. Make clothes, sell them. I want to create a place where I can make music, eat food, and drink coffee."

——Could you tell me the unforgettable memories of Shibuya?
"The first live performance was Shibuya. ROCKWEST across Shibuya PARCO. I don't have it now. It's 18. It was my first live show, and everyone came. (Towards a friend sitting a little away)? Don't you?"

Yuji-san: "It was the first live. It was 3 high. I miss you."

Mr. Chiba: "Is it? I was in front of you (laughs)."

——Do your friends haven't changed since then?
Mr. Gangju: "He was a little stupid until he was about twelve years old. From then on the contrary, calm down and feel like this."

——How old did you meet Mr. Gangju?
Mr. Gangju: "I'm six years old. I've been together since small 1. I lived in the same building in the same housing complex."

——Why did you settle down at the age of 12?
Mr. Chiba: "I don't think I'll have any friends. He was the worst person without love, like doing everything with power. That's why I don't like that. I think it's a word."

——What do you want to believe in living?
"I don't believe it, right? I know if I believe it."

——So what do you believe in?
"I don't know (laughs). I believe……What I want to believe. I don't know. I don't believe anything."

——What about you?
"I don't believe it,"

——What's your friend?
"I don't believe it."

That's the moment he said, his childhood friend, Gangju, sitting next to him, says, "Hideyatsu!"

"No, I believe everything (laughs). It's a silly answer. I even believe in doubt."
