解構再造的青年反叛：Children of the Discordance 2026 春夏系列大秀正式登陸 Pitti Uomo 108
正如先前預告，Children of the Discordance今日重返佛羅倫斯Pitti Uomo108，與其他亞洲品牌 Post Archive Faction (PAF) 和 Homme Plisse Issey Miyake 共同擔任特別嘉賓。設計師志鎌英明（Hideaki Shikama） 毫不保留地帶來一系列極具表現力的解構與精緻重製服飾，反映出叛逆青年文化和城市生活的混亂能量。 在一份官方聲明中，Shikama 將自己和同儕早期的時尚比喻為 DJing——這與該系列「混音、剪切再加工」的理念不謀而合。「DJ 會避免播放相同的曲目，」他說，「這也適用於我們選擇穿著的服裝。這種在地語彙融入了我所做的一切。」 針對結構化裙裝、夾克、長褲和短褲，志鎌英明特別邀請一位倫敦培訓的裁縫密友，將精緻剪裁融入設計中。然而，品牌仍透過古銅色套染、解構輪廓和不對稱結構等進一步的工藝，維持其前衛美學。拼接西裝結合了純黑色、海軍藍、卡其色和灰色面料的不同色調組合；此外，深色碎布被縫製成橫向條紋織物，用於短夾克、長褲和外套。 「不和諧 Discordance」的概念透過對半縫合的服裝具體呈現，包括一件飾有動物圖案的傳統日式橫須賀外套、套染運動褲、圖案足球球衣以及成套運動服。其他互相疊加和碰撞的重點印花、飾邊和細節包括變形蟲圖案、塗鴉、褪色徽章、七彩寶石點綴，當然還有大量的破壞處理。 最後，Children of the Discordance 以一套非傳統的婚紗造型為發表會劃下句點，該造型由揉皺的白色和黑色 T 恤組成，並以鑲有寶石的十字架裝飾兜帽與頭紗的混合設計。 有興趣的讀者們敬請持續關注 Hypebeast，掌握 Pitti Uomo 108 的更多最新動態。 >TOKYO BASE 首度進軍銀座開設最大選物店「THE TOKYO」旗艦店 >UNDERCOVER 2026 早春系列正式登場 >首度舉辦「Friends & Family Day」！Hyperoom 即將登陸 2026 春夏巴黎時裝週

At Pitti Uomo, the refined order and chaos of Children of the Discordance
Children of the Discordance chose the imposing Stazione Leopolda for its first show in Europe. Guest designer at Pitti Uomo, Japanese designer Hideaki Shikama, a regular on the Tokyo catwalks for his seventh show, immersed his guests in the dark, sophisticated world of his street-culture-inspired brand, with its singular, urban aesthetic. See catwalk With the percussive and electronic sounds of popular Japanese DJ Chaki Zulu providing the soundtrack, the atmosphere was underground in every sense of the word. Both in the dusty, misty palette of the clothes, and in the allure of the bad-boy models wearing studded boots signed by Korean label Aims Studio. Models hid their heads under hoods, scarves tied in turbans, or cowboy hats. Some wearing mouth jewels made by Tokyo-based Jewellers, which gave them an eerie metallic smile. It's no coincidence that the collection was entitled "Enfant Terrible". This atmosphere was sublimated by smoky hues, hand-bleached effects, and different material layering techniques, imbuing many pieces with an unexpected authenticity, as if the garments were sun-worn or sun-washed. After starting out in the boutique Ships and launching the cutting-edge multi-brand Acycle in Tokyo's Harajuku district in 2005, Shikama, now 45, founded Children of the Discordance with friends in 2011, which he has run solo since 2013. From the outset, he has been driven by an artistic and artisanal vein, making his own fabrics and prints. Baggy pants with large pockets or drawstrings, in silk or nylon to layer over boxer shorts, tracksuits, and sweatshirts stained via the tie and dye technique, decorated with patches or embroidered cabalistic designs were just some of the most striking pieces in the collection. Some models, such as the zipped pants, were reminiscent of the creations of his compatriot Jun Takahashi, the designer behind Undercover. See catwalk The 35 looks in this collection for Spring/Summer 2026 revisited designs from Children of the Discordance's past and new creations inspired by a recent trip to Vietnam, where Shikama relied on embroidery workshops, the rest being produced in Japan. This season, the designer delved into the world of tailoring through a creative collaboration with a London-trained menswear designer and his close collaborator. The wardrobe was enriched by tailored shirts, jackets, pants, and shorts with clean lines. Jackets in particular, including the tuxedo jacket, were the subject of a refined composition of different fabrics and men's wool sheets, in subtle patchworks. Some jackets alone combined some twenty different precious wools. Other models were overdyed, while others frayed, like a pair of silk shorts with a clean edge for an "unfinished" effect, while patterned silk ties were adorned with medallions. As a wedding outfit, a crinoline dress made from hundreds of recycled jersey sweaters concluded the show with panache. Today, Children of the Discordance is distributed through some 60 multi-brand retailers, almost half of them in Japan and the rest in Europe and North America. Prices are in the mid-range, with shirts priced at over 500 euros, given the high level of finishing and hand-crafting.

Children of the Discordance SS26 Sews Chaos at Pitti Uomo 108
As previously announced,Children of the Discordancereturned to Florence'sPitti Uomofor its 108th edition today to join other Asian brandsPost Archive Faction(PAF) andHomme Plisse Issey Miyakeas special guests. DesignerHideaki Shikamadid not hold back, bringing forth an expressive range of cut-up and meticulously reworked garments that reflect the chaotic energy of defiant youth cultures and urban life. In an official statement, Shikama likened his and his peers' early fashion to DJing — an appropriate analogy for the collection, defined by remixed, chopped-and-screwed sensibilities. 'DJs avoid playing the same tracks,' he said. 'That applies to the clothes we choose to wear. This local code lives on in everything I do.' For structured skirts, jackets, trousers, and shorts, Shikama enlisted a close friend and London-trained pattern maker to incorporate fine tailoring. However, the label maintains its' edgy sensibilities through further processes like patinated over-dye, deconstructed silhouettes, and asymmetrical compositions. Patchwork suiting combines tonal hues of solid black, navy, khaki, and gray fabrics in varied compositions, and elsewhere, dark fabric scraps are quilted into a horizontally striped textile used for blousons, trousers, and jackets. The concept of 'discordance' is materialized by halved garments sewn together down the middle, including a traditional Japanese souvenir jacket boasting animal motifs, over-dyed sweat pants, a graphic football jersey, and a matching tracksuit. Overlapping and clashing with one another, other key prints, trims, and details include paisley patterns, graffiti graphics, faded crests, technicolor jewel embellishments, and, of course, distressing galore. Finally, Children of the Discordance closed its presentation with an unconventional bridal number composed of crumpled white and black t-shirts and finished with a bejeweled cross adorning a hood-veil hybrid. Stay tuned to Hypebeast for more updates on the Pitti Uomo 108 happenings.
