Tomorrow in Paris, Kunihiko Morinaga will present his 25th Anrealage collection, marking a quarter-century of innovative fashion. He has partnered with Sarah Andelman for the Just An Realage initiative, which includes a retrospective exhibition and a gift shop located at 76 rue de Turenne, running from this Friday through next Monday. The exhibition features a rotating carousel displaying designs from 2014, accompanied by ambient music from Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk. The gift shop offers 26 selected items, including a red marble apple (A), a furoshiki (F), and a color-changing omamori (O).
