concept
Hiroaki attempts to stimulate the limits of our mind to reach pure individuality, meaning what are our thoughts when totally relaxed and honest about feelings. He designed the pieces inspired by the exhilarating sensation of freedom from all borders and rules, not feeling the need to hide deepest secret desires because society says: “it is not appropriate”. His garments seek to reach the next stage in spiritual development, facing desires without ignoring sentiments and picking up the fragments of the heart.
