Anrealage Fall/Winter 2025 / FW25 at Paris Fashion Week Entitled “SCREEN”. A black SCREEN as a space of infinite possibilities.
Kunihiko Morinaga for FW25 / Fall/Winter 2025 imagines a future where black clothes serve as a SCREEN for displaying any color, pattern, message or graphic. Garments morph into mediums for diffusing messages, reflecting and transforming a stream of visuals and information – the SCREEN- Age equivalent of the humble sandwich-board man of the early 20th century, or slogan T-shirts. These SCREEN garments change instantaneously according to the wearer’s mood, drawing from a galaxy of downloadable designs rendered in vivid digital RGB colors unreproducible in CMYK. Patterns of light emerge and fade, giving rise to new and continuous visual expressions. The clothing – like life itself – never stops evolving; there is no final form.
Technical of Anrealage FW25 / Fall/Winter 2025 show unveiled in the American Cathedral in Paris to a bespoke soundtrack created by Thomas Bangalter, formerly half of DaftPunk, the show is divided into two parts, following the story of a collection that steps through the SCREEN. The opening act hints at what is to come: silhouettes evoking blocky Roblox avatars feature patterns of light projected onto a SCREEN, reproduced by hand in colorful weaves, patchworks and quilting as wellas prints created with FOREARTH, a sustainable textile printer developed by KYOCERA.[1] Robot-style 3D-printed square-block shoes made of a bio-based PU material complete the looks.
Marking the crossover between the two realms, a patchwork stained-glass look painstakingly handcrafted from 10,000 tiny colored fabric scraps is positioned alongside its black velvet doppelgänger, which lights up with a vivid stained-glass pattern echoing the cathedral’s luminous rose windows, moving from static to flowing beauty. Knitted tops made from LED yarns in RGB colors sparkle like jewels made of light, while on a pair of models walking in unison two identical black looks pulse with borders and stripes that migrate from one look to the other, transforming into checks before separating back into the original motifs. New motifs are produced every second, generating 60 variations of check-on-check designs within 30 seconds to create an optical frenzy, offering a blink-and-miss-it snapshot of the infinite possibilities of design combinations.
Like a kaleidoscope, patterns bloom and scatter like flowers, emerging by the thousands, creating mesmerizing visual impressions that disappear in an instant; the garment from a second ago no longer exists. More than mere clothes, these imposing graphic black silhouettes are an interface for a new form of fashion, a second-skin SCREEN, envisioning a future where individuals can exchange and share the designs of the clothes they wear. Like a living billboard, soft yarns and textiles embedded with LED-LCD technology – developed in collaboration with MPLUSPLUS[2] – can be folded, knitted, sewn, and draped into any shape.
For the big-bang finale, looks reappear with their patterns in constant motion. Synchronizing, they are enveloped in TV static noise and color bars, passing from colorful dots to black and white and stained-glass before exploding like stars into the expanding universe and fading away to their initial black form.
A black SCREEN as a space of infinite possibilities.
The LED textiles incorporate AZEK®, a light-permeable 3D woven or knitted textile developed by the Japanese textile company SHIKIBO LTD and inspired by the breathable materials used in the AZEKURA structure of an ancient shrine sanctuary in Japan. By applying its permeability not to wind but to light, the fabric functions as a liquid crystal textile: blocking light from the front while allowing RGB light to pass through from the back.
