Discover the fusion of Italian style and Japanese sportswear heritage in the Onitsuka Tiger Spring/Summer 2023 collection unveiled at Milan Fashion Week. Creative Director Andrea Pompilio applied a minimalistic approach and blended it with relaxed, flowing silhouettes. For colors, a classic black and white color palette was applied along with pops of yellow and shisho green as inspired by the colors of Japanese basil.
This is a collection that draws inspiration from Japanese culture with references to the kimono as well as non-sporting clothing. Innovation is also at play through drawstrings which are not only stylish details, but also serve a functional role in several tee shirts. Transformational moments are also found in dresses which can change from long to mini. Small touches of volume and texture add a visual break in the clean lines, yet don’t overpower the minimalistic approach to youthful, urban style.
