This collection was conceived and started by Abloh before his death in 2021. Kamara said the team had taken the original brief—an exploration of the human body—and built on it. In this Spring/Summer 2023 collection followed the brief imaginatively, while re-emphasizing the Abloh’s codes. The holes were used to expose the navel on patched leather dresses and workwear, feminized tailoring, shirt-dresses, and the knitwear that was a highlight of the collection. Stitching was used to trace a contour map of the muscles and organs beneath on suiting, and later printed x-rays repeated the trick on more suiting and denim: the clothes were wearing an imprint of the body within. On that knitwear, thin braided ropelets were precisely applied on top of fine-gauge shells to create more reefs of contour that mapped out the bodies beneath.
