Round 23 was inspired by staircase architecture mixed with traditional quilt patterns and borders. The staircases range from the Gio Ponti pool staircase in Sorrento to Jessica’s childhood home spiral staircase that her father built.

This round is also an inspired mix of surplus fabrics of sacai and A.P.C. Once the concept of staircases for the
round was proposed, Chitose immediately understood, the staircases being a metaphor to travel up.
