Christian Dada Singapore opens flagship

Japanese fashion label Christian Dada has opened its first flagship store in Singapore at the 268 Orchard Road mall.

Fumiko Takahama Architects designed the interior of the 1700 sqft (157.9 sqm) Christian Dada Singapore boutique, inspired by the Japanese karesansui garden (rock garden). Sheets of black perforated metal are folded, origami-style, to resemble rocks.

Founded in 2010 by designer Masanori Morikawa, the Christian Dada label is known for its deconstructed designs. He uses traditional Japanese silk-weaving techniques and the 8th- century yuzen dyeing method, commonly done by hand and used for kimonos and coats.

Prices range from S$70 (US$51.42) for a bandana to $4620 for a jacket with rabbit-fur collar.
