チルドレン オブ ザ ディスコーダンス
As a special event at the Pitti Immagine Uomo 108, the brand staged a runway show centered on the spirit of the “Enfant Terrible”—a tribute to creative freedom and multidimensional energy. Drawing inspiration from subcultures that designer Shikama encountered in his youth, the collection honors those singular voices that defy convention. With the addition of tailored pieces made from deadstock selvedge wool, the lineup expanded in both depth and diversity.
Shikama started Harajuku multi-label shop Acycle in 2005. After six years working as the store’s buyer and director, he teamed up with designers Kido and Inokawa to launch Children of the Discordance in 2011. From 2013 he assumed sole direction of the brand and in 2017 was awarded the Tokyo Fashion Award. He made his runway debut at the Tokyo Collections in the 19-20 A/W season.
