Here Babachan starts off the new season ‘Opening New Doors’ with a simple yet meaningful dress. With the warm orange of a fading autumn offsetting a field of white winter flowers, her dress reflects the changing of the season and hints at the winter beauty that will soon take over the small ski resort town of Karuizawa. Just as she suggests that the chilly winter days ahead would bring the new members closer together in their cozy surrounding, Babachan herself brings warmth to the panel room with her 70’s inspired prairie dress with pleated front bodice and thin black tassel belt. Her accessories here are simple, but hint at Babachan’s flair for the unusual. Copper leaf shaped earring with large ice blue rhinestones again reinforce the theme of changing seasons while adding a sense of whimsy that offsets the more mature style of the dress. She continues her sense of playfulness by donning a ceramic bead necklace that looks as though it has soccer balls on it. Perhaps this foreshadows the goal scoring quip she earns by asking Tokui if they were in the Edo period after his somewhat unsophisticated bathroom humor. Babachan’s hair is uncharacteristically free of one of her iconic headpieces and is swept back in lovely natural curls. However she is not without her most important garment. She sports a pair of shocking electric yellow tights that break all conventional color combinations and suggest that although she is starting simply there is much more still to see from Terrace House’s most stylish panelist.
