Season after season, Chitose Abe reminds us with her Sacai collections that she’s the unmatched master of outerwear. The Japanese designer knows no limits when it comes to creating garments that are equal parts imaginative and practical, and her offering for Fall/Winter 2024 was no exception. Abe thrives in constructing interesting proportions, and this time around, the silhouette was elongated. The voluminous black bomber was worn on top of a long coat and paired with flowy trousers. A classic navy duffle coat was given a Sacai touch by having its fastenings tilted to the side. A double-breasted pinstripe jacket was teamed up with a matching skirt and trousers. The looks were accessorised with incredibly desirable faux-fur accents, from collars and tightly-tied dangling scarfs to a stand-out chunky clogs/boots hybrid - a shoe of the season!
