Chika Kisada Spring 2027: Balletcore with Punk Edge

Tokyo designer Chika Kisada presented her Spring 2027 collection, titled Dehors, via lookbook rather than a runway show, focusing on sales and showrooms. The collection continues her signature blend of ballet and punk, exploring the concept of liberation through clothing. Kisada reinterpreted corsets with adjustable lacing, aiming to flatter and improve posture while remaining comfortable. Other pieces included a second-skin top with a tutu-like hem, a pink lace blouse extending into a bodysuit, a denim garter belt, and a bomber jacket with tulle. Footwear featured loafers and satin pumps pierced with silver rings, evoking the pain of dancing en pointe. The collection was lightened with rainbow beads and ribbons, drawing on childhood nostalgia for a joyful, sensory experience. Kisada has been doing balletcore before it trended on TikTok, and her work often contrasts elegance with underlying chaos.
