The runway was accentuated by hair accessories from Yumi Nakamura, while Hakushi Hasegawa’s soundtrack added an intensity.

The collection featured an array of striking designs, including a black rose outfit constructed from mesh petals edged in black, alongside smaller blooms crafted from silver chicken-wire petals with bloody red resin accents, reminiscent of a Venus flytrap. Metallic and leather harness grids adorned tulle in scarlet and black, while parted-lips-shaped panels traversed the garments, adding a touch of playful intimacy.

Notable pieces included morning coats divided by garter-belted cavities, revealing glimpses of skin, and a leather-shoulder cloak with a pearl-edged rib-cage detail that suggested an underlying narrative of heartbreak. Each look resonated as a fresh verse of wearable metaphysical poetry, blending romance and mystery in Kei Ninomiya’s distinctively avant-garde style.
