Shadow play
Onitsuka Tiger presents the Autumn/Winter 22 collection that is based on the concept of “Shadow”, by using monotone black and white colours. This collection is all about layering which is typical of Japanese ceremonial dresses. In addition to the ultra-oversized T-shirts made of heavy cotton and graphically embroidered kaftans (overdresses), the only distinctive embellishments in the collection are the flame and flower prints on the hems of various apparel items. The collection has a slightly Gothic & Girly style with a modern rock-star twist and presents various items such as velour dresses and mini dresses with a drawstring waist.
