With the appearance of three unique characters—a skier, an astronaut, and a climber—the ENCHANT print is transformed into a stage adorned with colorful flags, outer space, and vibrant bouldering holds. This film captures the positive spirit of PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE, which delights simply by being worn. We have released a special film that expresses the worlds of the print series “ONE STEP,” featuring characters from a variety of professions, and “ENCHANT,” a distinctive dotted pattern series that invites free imagination of any situation. Focusing on the skier, astronaut, and climber from the ONE STEP characters, the video gently brings out each character’s individuality in a relaxed manner. Focusing on the skier, astronaut, and climber from among the ONE STEP characters, we created a video that freely expresses each character’s individuality.

KITCHEN & COMPANY, MIKATA, and WOW collaborated on the Teijin Group’s 100th anniversary project. Looking toward the next 100 years, they declared “FUTURE NAVIGATION” as a global message shared around the world. At the same time, they launched the “THINK HUMAN PROJECT” to explore ways to improve the future quality of life for people through nine experimental projects. WOW was responsible for directing and producing the TV commercial and OOH campaign for the “FUTURE NAVIGATION” declaration. To express a project that reexamines humanity from multiple perspectives, the visuals and story were built around the idea of reducing human beings to an unknown entity. What separates humans from objects? How should humans interact with their environment? What does it mean for human beings to live as human beings? Through a variety of angles and forms of expression, this work confronts these questions, which have no clear answers. By boldly yet delicately transforming sensitive motifs, it aimed to create a uniquely beautiful yet poisonous world.
