Anrealage¡¯s brilliant whites
¡°A Color Un Color,¡± the second show in a ¡°Philosophical Fashion¡± series of exhibitions at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, is featuring one of the most exciting brands to come out of Japan in the past decade: Anrealage.
Anrealage designer Kunihiko Morinaga is known for brilliant experimentations with technology. Some of these, such as his laser-cut ¡°Bone¡± collection and his intricate hand-patchworked pieces will be on display. But the pi¨¨ce de r¨¦sistance has to be his newest work, wearable clothing made from photochromic fabrics that change from white to brilliant colors depending on the light. Hung on a wall among 5,000 pieces of white clothing, the collection aims to ask the question ¡°What is color?¡± (M.J.)
