Shinichi Mita × ZOZO NEXT

“What if humanity had reached space during the Edo period?” — From this grand question was born the exhibition “Path in Trace - WADACHI -”, held this spring at Laforet Museum Harajuku. Curated by stylist Shinichi Mita, the exhibition explores the fundamental meaning of “wearing” by fusing traditional crafts with technology. Among the works, one that particularly stood out was created by the ZOZO NEXT textile team. How did they take on this theme through technology? This exhibition delves into the untold story behind their creation and the process of bringing it to life.
