Designer Yasutaka Funakoshi—shown below with a leather tassel hanging—takes a bow on the runway at the end of the alice auaa show. On his website, Yasutaka Funakoshi explains "because":
…alice auaa designs do not merely categorize duality, such as beauty and ugliness, and light and shadow, through a decadent and surreal filter based on the color black, but rather convey a mode of avant-garde and romanticism based on the endless motif of the time of life in everything (creation from destruction), and the elegance and eroticism that dwells in incommodiousness.
