What they created was not simply art, but the very essence of life. Artworks are born as naturally as breathing, with overwhelming power and beauty. Amidst the ordinary, everyday life, something extraordinary beyond imagination lurks. The world they see. How vast, unknown, and endless is the landscape that unfolds within? I was simply standing at the entrance. How does the world look to them? How does it look to us? Why does the scenery look different even though we are in the same place? What are the boundaries that divide this world? When that boundary is crossed, a pure form of life emerges. (Heart) is the heartbeat, the mind, and the center of life. Each person’s unique heartbeat is proof of life and existence itself. I want to make this existence visible through fashion. Clothes come to life. Clothed in a formless heartbeat.

Every piece of clothing stands as a moving vessel of life, representing the pulse of life. “The scenery we see” and “the scenery others see.” Why do we see different views from the same place? Where is the boundary, and what appears once we cross it? ANREALAGE designer Kunihiko Morinaga focused on the fact that we see different views despite being in the same world, and depicted the beauty of “difference.” Show sound was handled by Thomas Bangalter, formerly of Daft Punk. The show features an original soundtrack that combines the everyday sounds of 18 artists with disabilities with the rhythm of heartbeats. Following on from the previous season of ANREALAGE, Thomas Bangalter, co-founder of Daft Punk for 30 years, once again handled the show sound. After
discovering this collection, Mr. Ito became interested in HERALBONY’s “ROUTINE RECORDS,” and based on his idea, he created an original soundtrack incorporating the everyday sounds of HERALBONY’s contracted artists. It filled the show venue. The music, which combines the sounds produced daily by people with intellectual disabilities with the rhythm of their heartbeats, is organic and resonates with the heart. In an age where AI and technology are becoming more and more prevalent, it vividly highlights what it means to be human. *Sounds by 17 artists featured in this collection are included, excluding Toyoshi Yaegashi, who passed away in 2023. Two HERALBONY contracted artists watched the runway from the front row Of the 18 HERALBONY contracted artists featured in the show, two, Shu Toriyama and Momoko Nakagawa of Yamanami Studio, watched the runway show from the front row. At the end of the show, the two rose to their feet after being introduced by ANREALAGE designer Kunihiko Morinaga, and were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the packed audience.

https://pfwss26.heralbony.com/en/ (English) Printed fabrics by “FOREARTH” reproduce the colors of art with high fidelity The fabrics used in this collection’s looks were produced using Kyocera Document Solutions’ sustainable textile inkjet printer, “FOREARTH,” during the costume printing process. The artworks are meticulously recreated by HERALBONY’s contracted artists. Each piece has different pen pressure, brush strokes, and color tones, but FOREARTH’s signature fine adjustment of ink volume recreates the shading, and the pieces are crafted to respect the original form of the artworks, even across a wide range of fabrics. ＜About FOREARTH＞ Kyocera Document Solutions’ “FOREARTH” is an environmentally friendly inkjet textile printer that reduces the water consumption required for conventional dye-based textile printing by 99.98%*1. Through our concept and technology of protecting water, which is essential for life, we are contributing to reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry. ■For more information about the FOREARTH textile inkjet printer, please click here HERALBONY Co-CEO Takaya Matsuda/Funto Comments “Takaya, Fumitou, do you have XX?” “No way!” My brother, who has autism and severe intellectual disabilities, laughed so hard he held his head. Those childhood scenes, repeated every day, are still burned into my mind. And to this day, I continue to dwell on the emotions I felt back then. Even my twin brother and I don’t understand what’s so strange about him. Even though we’ve lived together for 34 years, I still don’t understand. But there’s one thing I’m sure of. My brother was smiling with utmost happiness. Like the fruit that finally appears when you carefully peel the skin off an apple, The scenery was so crystal clear, every moment was a moment of beauty. I am proud to have been touched by those emotions, to know them firsthand. Paris Fashion Week, the world’s greatest festival of beauty. With clothing by Kunihiko Morinaga of ANREALAGE and music by former Daft Punk member Thomas Bangalter, Works by artists with intellectual disabilities were unleashed onto the runway. What will people perceive as “beautiful” in the future? I am convinced that the truth of “beauty” that humanity has been searching for resides in the “heart.” Collaboration items will be on sale to commemorate the collection To commemorate the collection, we will be selling collaboration items with ANREALAGE. In addition to T-shirts featuring the collection title, written by Shota, the older brother of both CEOs of HERALBONY, we will also be selling items featuring collaborations on ANREALAGE’s classic ball shirts, featuring art by 18 artists featured in the collection’s looks.
