Fashion editor Robin Givhan says that Chitose Abe is “part of a grand lineage of Japan-born designers whose urbane, non-Western ideas wield global influence.” Abe, the designer behind Sacai, creates intricate hybridizations and reinventions of classic garments. Based in Tokyo, Sacai was propelled to international standing when Abe began presenting runway shows at Paris Fashion Week in 2011.
