The Japanese designer is pretty clear about his idea of fashion: \u201cI want to make something that is not commercial\u201d.<\/em> His statement before his Spring 2020 show in NYFW locks a bigger message: Koizumi ain’t for everyone. He creates to\u00a0 inspire and provoke. Lets climb that mountain of organza.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"TOMO<\/p>\n

When first appearing in the city that never sleeps last year, all eyes went onto his show held at Marc Jacobs’<\/strong> <\/a>Madison Avenue store. His main focus is on the show, on creating an aura of fun and carnival around his stunning dresses.<\/p>\n

In this occasion, Tomo Koizumi<\/strong> (@tomokoizumi<\/strong><\/a>) decided to bring actress Ariel Nicholson\u00a0<\/strong>(@ariel.nicholson<\/strong><\/a>) to perform and pose in a one-model only presentation. Nicholson, an 18 year-old trans artist<\/strong> and\u00a0Raf Simons<\/strong> <\/a>muse, appear with an extravagant and colorful make up full of glitter and her hair done in a form of a huge cone, giving a dramatic and very spectacular aspect to the whole show.<\/p>\n

While dressing and undressing in the seven garments displayed by the Tokyo-born designer, Ariel<\/strong> performed around the store showing her most artistic facet to the photographers and playing with the hundreds of Japanese organza<\/strong> used for every dress. The contrast between the stiffness of her coned hair and the flexibility of Koizumi’s pieces gave a very conceptual approach to this atypic fashion show.<\/p>\n
