Sacai’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection embodies a mastery of simplicity and completeness, showcasing a harmonious blend where every piece is a statement, every cut is articulate, and every design illuminates the ethos of celebrated French sculptor Auguste Rodin, “The more simple we are, the more complete we become.”
Designer Chitose Abe, the wizard behind Sacai, ventured into a realm where the raw essence of artistry met refined sophistication. Gone were the days of elaborate hybrids, replaced by a tranquil yet powerful expression of simplicity. This wasn’t a retraction but an evolution, a subtle dance of form and function weaving through the air in the enigmatic silence of a transformed parking garage.
Inspiration flowed from the masterpieces of Rodin, his words not just inscriptions but the soulful breath giving life to an ensemble where sleek cuts met pillowy volumes. Here, jackets and shirt sleeves, sculpted with precision, blossomed into nearly circular silhouettes. Abe’s dexterity manifested in the construction, where the undulating hems and strategic slashes revealed an exciting play between concealment and revelation.
The absence of complication didn’t imply a lack of depth. Quite the contrary, it echoed the raw, powerful strokes of Rodin’s chisel, where every curve, every undulation bore testimony to an intricate dance between the artist and the muse. Abe’s collection, stark yet profound, bore a silent testimony to this ethereal dance.

Pieces sculpted from the archetypes of MA-1 jackets, tuxedos, and classic shirting emerged as statuesque silhouettes, celebrating an aesthetic where function danced gracefully with form. The minimal palette, devoid of distracting motifs except for Rodin’s profound words, whispered tales of purity and refinement.
“Creativity takes courage,” a quote by another iconic artist, Henri Matisse, seems apt to describe Abe’s journey this season. The Spring/Summer 2024 Sacai collection is a sonnet, a lyrical expression where simplicity meets depth, where less is indeed more, and where silence speaks louder than words. A collection where the narrative isn’t scripted but felt, an experience not just seen but lived.
Chitose Abe’s Spring/Summer 2024 narrative didn’t just break through the noise – it transcended it. It wasn’t a mere collection but an experiential journey through the echoes of time, where art, fashion, and soul converge, unveiling a narrative as profound as it is simplistic, as articulate as it is silent, as complete as it is uncluttered.
