MIKIOSAKABE 2026-27 AUTUMN / WINTER COLLECTION Hometown
Centering on the theme of "horror," the presentation was staged in a traditional Japanese folk house (kominka), offering an immersive experience akin to wandering through a haunted attraction.
The hair and makeup were designed to evoke the image of a mysterious girl whose very existence blurs the line between reality and the surreal.
For the makeup, the complexion was drained of natural flush to achieve a faint, ethereal pallor, leaving only the bold, deep red lips as a point of emphasis.
The hair featured a consistent "mushroom bob" style, with lengths extending to veil the eyes. This choice created a lingering afterimage that seemed to speak to the viewer and challenge their memories. For certain looks, twin-tail styles were crafted to appear as though the model was facing backward even when seen from the front, further intensifying the eerie and uncanny atmosphere of the collection.
