ablankpage début RUNWAY & EXHIBITION “0” December 18th @Harajuku An image film compiling scenes from the debut collection of the fashion brand ablankpage ablankpage: Founded in 2022 by designer Lalopai Bun Puadet. ablankpage means “a blank page with nothing on it.” The name reflects the idea of writing one’s own life story without being bound by prejudice or fixed notions.

A project that explores a three-dimensional imaging device based on the principles of light wavelengths, and the possibilities of visual expression using it. By turning the limitations of the device—such as human perceptual abilities, the “maximum of three layers,” and the fixed colors for each layer—into advantages, a new “mode of expression” unique to this medium was developed, resulting in a group of three-dimensional animations with a vivid sense of depth that could be described as sculptures of light.

We aimed to create a visual style that blends mechanical animation, making full use of patterns, with traditional hand-drawn animation. Even without facial expressions, a person’s fashion can convey emotion and energy. Clothes chosen by a person of their own free will are not mere decorations; they become part of the body, and there is a sense in which the boundary between fashion and the person becomes increasingly blurred. Fashion, including clothing, accessories, cosmetic surgery, and makeup, seems to lose its boundary with the wearer’s body and mind the more they enjoy wearing it, until it feels like they become that person themselves. We tried to express these ideas through animation.
