Fujii Kaze - Fujii Kaze - Matsuri(Official Video)

Meet Fujii Kaze's Matsuri – a confluence of sartorial art where fashion brings music to life. A tale told in colours, textures and silhouettes, the video offers a visual feast for those with an eye for the uniquely eclectic. The video takes us on a journey through pared-back beach chic with whispers of fresh mint, a nod to our beloved essentials linen look beach trousers. Followed by a slide into urban coolness, with elements reminiscent of the gray Tyron Cap by Isabel Marant and the cotton cropped joggers wrapped in tie-dye amusements. The warmth of the navy and green, classic fit Polo Ralph Lauren shirt subtly juxtaposed with the youthful charm of the We A Family Kids navy & white stripes Jenny Dress offers an unexpected stylistic harmony. A whirlwind of multicoloured joy comes next, drawing parallels to the 1990s colour-block panelled shirt by JC de Castelbajac and Nike's ACG Anorak Jacket, the video transcends into a celebration of vibrant chaos. As we progress, an intriguing dialogue is created between the blue & purple Haley bucket hat, the black reversible bucket hat by Paul Smith, and the high waisted jegging flare. The thread that ties these seemingly disparate pieces together is the unique take on contrast embodied by the colour-block reversible fleece jacket and the mens' colour block revere collar. It's a clash, it's a harmony, it's a spectacular celebration of style - a Matsuri in its truest sense.
