Hands of Rodin Socks - A bit 3D

- Details
These are socks featuring a Rodin hands motif. Recently, I’ve been really into using the reverse side of socks, and I do it quite often. But when I showed this design to the factory, they told me that this time it might be technically difficult to do it that way.
If it wasn’t possible, that was fine, so I suggested an alternative design — but instead, the factory came up with a clever solution.
I was honestly moved by their dedication. In the end, because the outline of the hands is slightly raised, we named them Hands of Rodin Socks – a bit 3D.

Kota Gushiken
Kota Gushiken is a Tokyo knitwear designer known for clothes that are weird, wearable and made with real skill.
After his last showroom wrapped, he needed to get out of Tokyo. He couldn’t choose between Miyako Island and Bali, picked Bali for no real reason, and booked a flight for the next night. There, he met someone who told him, “flow your mind, but don’t follow your mind.” Back in Japan, his acupuncturist suggested they’d been talking about mui: being natural, without intention.
AW26 is Gushiken’s attempt at that. Rather than forcing a concept, he followed whatever turned up: yarns he happened across, colours that popped into his head, the people he met along the way.
