Embellir 25TH ANNIVERSARY
50年以上のヒストリーを持つ日本でも唯一無二のメゾンの姿、生地の選択からデザインが生まれる瞬間、仮縫いなどを経てコレクションが完成していく過程、技術者の仕事、ショー当日の舞台裏とステージ、そしてこれから……。齊藤監督によるロングインタビューを通して浮き彫りにされていく芦田にとってのクリエイションとは、そして“芦田淳の娘”としての葛藤とは……。
齊藤工監督の感性と美意識によって描かれる世界をぜひご覧くださいませ。
In autumn 2016 Tae Ashida celebrated her 25th anniversary as a designer.
To commemorate the occasion a short documentary film has been realized,
directed by actor/director Takumi Saitoh,
exploring all aspects of “Ashida creation” over a period of half a year.
In a maison with a history of over 50 years and a peerless reputation,
we see the flow of the process, from fabric selection, through the birth of the designs,
the fittings, and the work of the technical experts,
and visit the day of the show – the brilliant runway, and its back-stage ...
Everything falls into place during the long interview by director Saitoh.
What is “fashion” to Tae Ashida,
and what are her thoughts about following her famous father as a designer.
It is our pleasure to welcome you to view this world
precisely and beautifully painted by Takumi Saitoh.

My work as director of the documentary film
commemorating the 25th anniversary of Tae Ashida began by “chance,”
yet is now leading toward a very “certain” destination.
Working intimately with expert seamstresses and master artisans,
maintaining the constant production of the maison,
the process through which Tae transforms design into merchandise,
especially in this age of fast fashion,
must become a work of lasting value.
