20471120

By Spring/Summer 1998, 20471120 had turned the Tokyo runway into mass entertainment. Animation, large vehicles and live effects expanded the scale far beyond a conventional trade presentation, drawing an audience measured in the thousands and demonstrating how completely the house had embraced the mechanics of popular spectacle.

The event belonged to the period when HYOMA, manga and tokusatsu logic were becoming inseparable from the fashion identity. Clothing operated inside a larger performance world in which characters, machines and audience participation carried as much narrative weight as the catwalk itself. The exact distribution of every remembered staging device across the surrounding 1997–98 shows is not encoded in the title, keeping the collection record focused on the securely identified season.
