Kolor Spring Summer 2027, titled Aliens, begins with the idea that people often live beside those they may never fully understand. The collection brings the word “alien” close to everyday life, turning it away from science fiction and toward neighbors, family, lovers, and the self. Photographer Sohom Das documented the backstage moments, capturing details exclusively for DSCENE Magazine.

The season uses that idea to examine distance between people. Kolor looks at the desire to understand others, and the limits that remain even in close relationships. Each person carries thoughts, memories, and ways of seeing that others cannot fully reach. That gap becomes the emotional ground of the collection.
From Earth, nationality, race, culture, and language can seem like major divisions. Seen from beyond the planet, those differences may feel smaller. Kolor uses that imagined perspective to question how people create distance through identity, place, and language.
The designer’s own background brings a personal angle to the theme. Born in Japan and trained in Belgium, he brings more than one cultural setting into the collection’s thinking. For Spring Summer 2027, Kolor also worked with Taiwanese band MONG TONG on music, Greece based artist Klaus Schmidt on textile patterns, and Chinese born, Japan based painter Yang Bo on graphics.

Through these collaborations, the collection treats difference as something people face through shared work. It suggests that full understanding may remain impossible, yet creation can still happen. If everyone can appear alien to someone else, then the word becomes intimate. Kolor Spring Summer 2027 turns that condition into a reflection on distance, culture, and connection.
