"This season, I was inspired by the ocean, seafarers and the myths and mythologies of the underwater world. I wanted the collection to not only evoke the intrepid, adventurous spirit of sailors and world-travelers, but also the mystery and darkness of the ocean’s depths, populated with mermaids and mythological creatures.”

Mame Kurogouchi 2022 Fall Winter collection continuously unfolds the story of Nagano, the designer Maiko Kurogouchi’s homeland and explores the mountains to absorb various local cultures passed on from generation to generation, and finally landing at the Jomon period, the oldest cultural endeavours in the history of the nation.
