Paris report: Sacai's knockout collection

Sacai is one of fashion's best-kept secrets. Today in Paris at the Japanese line's presentation, designer Chitose Abe showed a collection of some of the most covetable, beautifully textured, to die for garments we've seen this season. Abe worked under Junya Watanabe for years specializing in knitwear, and the influence is obvious in the details on the knit pieces.

Another thing that makes these garments special is how the back is different from the front. Sacai is available at Colette in Paris, Dover St. Market in London and Kirna Zabete in New York; I would say it's an investment definitely worth making come fall.
