Under the guidance of the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, iconic Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima, and fashion designer Kunihiko Morinaga have crafted a series of clothing pieces that evoke the sensation of small, enclosed spaces. The CELL exhibition at the Tokyo-based museum features garments that are constantly inflated by fans, transforming the clothing into space. When the airflow stops, the space collapses back into clothing. This interplay embodies the concept of 'movable space,' with garments featuring light, flowing drapes and soft, voluminous forms.
Kunihiko Morinaga, the designer behind ANREALAGE, reflects on the exhibit, saying, 'Hermit crabs, which inhabit snail shells, must find larger shells as they grow. In this case, is the shell a space or a piece of clothing? Do they live in it, or do they wear it? It seems to be both, and neither. It is somewhere between clothing and living, blurring the boundary between the everyday and the extraordinary.'
