A graduate of Coconogacco (a school in Japan that encourages its students to push at the boundaries of their creativity), Murakami is good at twisting his pieces into new and inventive shapes, and going against the formulaic grain that knitwear usually adheres to. That inventiveness showed up in cableknit braids that went the ‘wrong’ way across cardigans, while small swatches of lace-knit detailing materialized in seemingly random areas on sweaters. The knits also incorporated pockets in unconventional places at the sides, which was why the models came out hugging themselves. It turned out to be a new way of looking at pocket functionality: “When you’re feeling anxious, you can put your hands in to calm down. I made them with the image of being wrapped in a blanket to protect yourself.”

Despite being rooted in what might be regarded as self-pity, Murakami’s work has a distinctly positive feel, and he’s onto something with his edgy, off-kilter knits. In a full circle moment following his show, Murakami appeared wearing a floral jumper that had also been knitted for him by his mother. This time though, he wasn’t met with any ridicule, only applause.
