The word "uniform" has some boring connotations - until used in reference to the creative eyes of Hideaki Yoshihara and Yukiko Ode.

Craig Green understands that the importance of having "this idea and feeling translate to what is found in store" too, and so he funneled the collection's aesthetic and technical innovations into commercial jackets and knitwear featuring elements and fabrics that mimic details from the show collection. "I have always loved opposing ideas and the tension between two extremes, so exploring the ideas of heavy and light in this collection helped to push the development process further," Green says.
