クリエイティブ・ディレクター前田華子による「ADEAM（アディアム）」の2015/16年秋冬コレクションが、東京コレクション（メルセデス・ベンツ・ファッション・ウィーク東京）期間中の3月20日に六本木ミッドタウンにて開催された。拠点をNYに移したため東京でのランウェイショーは2013年春夏コレクション以来。モデルには、富永愛をはじめ今最も注目を集める日本人モデルをメインにNYとは異なる演出を披露。シンプルでありながらとても効果の高いソリエーションの一つ。簡単そうに聞こえるがそう簡単なことではない。インスピレーション源は、コンテンポラリー・アーティスト名和晃平のペインティングシリーズ「Direction」から得ている（こちら）。
ADEAM’s Hanako Maeda presented the brands Fall/Winter 2015 collection during New York Fashion Week. Yet splitting her time between both NY and Tokyo the Designer still wanted to participate in Tokyo fashion Week. The challenge of how to present the collection differently to how it had been shown in New York was met with a simple yet highly effective solution… cast local models. Sounds simple but this really made the show stand out (see ‘In Tokyo, Japanese models don’t rule the runway‘). The clothes themselves were embedded with abstract Japanese references, Hanako was inspired by the monochrome lines used in the work of Artist Kohei Nawa. With the stellar cast, the luxe fabrics made a major impact on the assembled audience at Roppongi Midtown. Once supermodel Tominaga Ai had closed the show the curtains parted and the after party commenced. Jazz Pianist MAPPY took a turn on the piano to entertain guests at what had been for many reasons, a stand out event during Tokyo Fashion Week’s Fall Collection’s.
