Children of the discordance FW24 at Milan Men Fashion Week. Children of the discordance joins once again Milan Fashion Week to present its Fall/Winter 2024-2025 in digital format.
Children of the discordance Fall/Winter 2024-2025 / FW24 collection was presented again within Milan Fashion week’s official show calendar.
The seasonal fashion film is titled, as the collection, HATSUGEN, produced and directed by exp(x) studio. The reference for Children of the Discordance FW24 came from Japanese independent hip hop artist Mamenchisaurus and his piece #”HATSUGEN” and its lyrics: “Conflicts that occur in everyday life and the decisions that are derived from them are expressed.
I was deeply influenced by the lyrics of this song in its claiming the importance of continuing to express yourself. It’s a piece about pursuing individual originality. I was once again taught various realizations” such as feelings that I had forgotten within myself” said Shikama Hideaki, Children of the discordance’s creative director.
“Almost all fabrics in the collection are indeed original. Through the fabrics I tried to convey the original and unique power that can only be achieved with COTD and to make it into product. Pushing Children of the discordance’s mantra ONE AND ONLY, to the next level. This is what has been driving me into developing the collection. I could see the future direction”.
As in past seasons, Children of the Discordance FW24 collection will bring forward Children of the discordance’s signature gradation of black and white and its experimentations on faded nuances and grey shades, ranging from charcoal grey to light grey. This season dull white pairs with brown shades and hints of gold Original Fabrics include hand painted on paisley jacquard fabric. Pigments are layered. Quilting is applied to the fabric “Ultra Suede” developed by Toray Industries.
The pattern is an original representation of the thorns of a rose. Natural vegetable dyed textile created in Rajasthan, India, printed using stamps carved from woodblock. In the long coat polyester taffeta mixed with a wool fabric remade to create air bubbles.
About Children of the discordance
Children of the discordance starts in 2011 as a collective of three friends who, between hip-hop and hard-core music, create a customised shirt, making the one and only piece never seen before and produce original patches and screen prints for original t-shirts.
In 2013, Children of the discordance, whose brand name acknowledges the resistance of the designer to conform with common fashion and music trends, becomes a solo project with Shikama Hideaki continuing the brand on his own. The vintage bandanas appear first in 2014, used in small parts on the clothing, each with a distinct pattern to make each piece unique and with a unique impression.
