ANTEPRIMA continuously deepens the dialogue and exploration in the fields of fashion and art, has long engaged in in-depth cooperation with artists, and has been dedicated to creating unique wearable artworks (Wearable Art). It has established a distinct banner in the fashion industry symbolizing the integration of art and fashion.
This season, creative director Izumi Ogino was deeply inspired by the creative world of Japanese contemporary artist Miyano Akiko. Miyano Akiko's works carry profound meditative connotations and precisely capture the essence of fleeting moments and memories from a unique artistic perspective.
The poetic sensibility of Izumi Ogino, combined with ANTEPRIMA's consistent pursuit of meticulous aesthetics, collided and merged, resulting in a wonderful chemical reaction. Together, they transformed the intangible concept of time into concrete and perceptible forms, and through delicate design techniques, made the silent passage of time vividly presented in the works.
ANTEPRIMA hopes to showcase the continuation and inheritance of strength and tenderness in a low-key and restrained quiet manner through this season's collection. Each piece will become a unique carrier of time memories, leading consumers to experience the unique charm of the interweaving of fashion and art.
Artistic Inspiration
Kimiya Miyano is a highly renowned and prominent contemporary artist in the art world. With her poetic installations, she holds a significant position in the art field and becomes the focus of attention for many art enthusiasts and professionals.
She possesses outstanding artistic creativity and is skilled at giving tangible forms to intangible things, particularly focusing on the expression of abstract themes such as time, memory, and change. During the creative process, Kimiya Miyano often selects materials like salt and naphthalene that are temporary. These materials will naturally melt or deteriorate over time. She uses this as an opportunity to make the sculpture gradually change its form as time progresses, eventually disappearing completely. This perfectly presents the artistic concept of "transience" and showcases the shaping and erosion of matter by time.
The Anteprima 2026 Autumn-Winter collection accurately captures the unique charm of Kimiya Miyano's artistic creation and obtains rich inspiration from her artistic perspective. The designers ingeniously incorporate Kimiya Miyano's ideas into the clothing design, creating a series of clothing images that not only have eternal artistic value but also possess the "transient" sensibility. This brings a new visual and emotional experience to the fashion world.
In this series of design, Mono Tone was established as the core axis that runs through the entire design, and based on this, a fashion dialogue deeply integrated with nature was initiated. The interpretation of colors followed a rigorous and rhythmic logic, starting with the crystal white at the beginning. This pure and flawless white was like an unpolished jade, setting a fresh and ethereal tone for the entire series.
As the design progressed, the colors gradually transitioned to foggy gray, with its soft tones resembling the visualization of morning fog in nature, creating a mysterious atmosphere that is half visible and half invisible; the appearance of midnight blue pushed the depth and tranquility to the extreme, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, adding a touch of nobility and mystery to the design; the use of moss green ingeniously incorporated the vitality and energy of nature, as if wearing the lush greenness of spring; the appearance of earth brown further strengthened the connection with nature, showcasing a stable and grand style characteristic; and the coppery gold, shaped by the erosion of time, was like a precious gem沉淀ed in the long river of history， adding a retro and luxurious flavor to the entire series.
Finally， the series returned to the basic pure white. This color cycle not only symbolizes the ever-changing nature of everything in the world but also highlights the essence of purity. The overall design， through soft， clean and minimalist design techniques， creates an elegant and quiet atmosphere， highlighting unique fashion taste and artistic pursuit.
This season's collection weaves together warmth, with fluidity within the structure and strength hidden within the lightness. The natural draping cuts of the shawl-style jackets and skirt hemlines depict the passage of time. The airy, translucent long pants and almost transparent knitted half-skirts are the visual representations of the artist's transformation of intangible elements into tangible forms.
The loose sweater made by hand-woven twisted yarn has a subtle brushed texture, resembling the traces left by the passage of time. By deliberately leaving extra fine lines, it gives the work a natural and lingering charm. When worn inside out, the checkered knitted fabric reveals the shape beneath, highlighting the hidden rugged beauty and emphasizing that it is precisely those subtle imperfections that create each person's unique personality and irreplaceable charm.
The sleeves of the coat are designed with rounded curves instead of sharp straight lines, maintaining the gentle and powerful aspect of women. This season, the brand also emphasizes the combination of skirts and pants, creating more layers and achieving a cohesive overall look.
