What a better way to start this new year than with a brand new amazing fashion editorial? Le Dernier Etage is excited to present Haikus, a fashion story shot by an inspired team in Barcelona.
Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry. It is typically characterized by three qualities:
- The essence of haiku is « cutting » (kiru). This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a kireji (« cutting word ») between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related.
- Traditional haiku consist of 17 on (also known as morae though often loosely translated as « syllables »), in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on, respectively. (An alternative form of haiku consists of 11 on in three phrases of 3, 5, and 3 on, respectively.)
- A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined
list of such terms.
