Clear vision: See-through fashion goes on show

07 : 09 : 2011 Experiential : Polyester Ribbon : Costume National: 25 Years

Tokyo – Italian fashion brand Costume National has opened a new flagship store that is also home to an exhibition called Costume National: 25 Years.

The exhibition space, created by designer Ryuji Nakamura, uses 4,000m of polyester ribbon. This functions like a lenticular print, appearing translucent or opaque depending on where the visitor stands.

The result is that visitors can see only one piece at a time, highlighting the various styles the brand has created over the years.
