(90 hours work) The iconic Chanel jacket was first produced in 1957 for the spring/summer collection. It was just after her return to rue Cambon following a 15 years absence due to the Second World War. She was over 70 years old. This tweed jacket was straight cut with four pockets without a collar which was inspired by men’s jackets and the Austrian elevator man’s uniform. It was created with her idea of women’s freedom. She showed all her avant-garde elegance in a clever way. Her new jacket is comfortable to wear and it was designed for women who worked like herself. Around that period, Dior’s new look had been well received in the fashion world. Her simple masculine style tweed jacket was the complete opposite of Dior’s new look. This modern tweed jacket was a sensation and created a new tradition in the fashion world. « in principle, I always invent. I don’t create anything which already exists. I devote myself to originality.»Gabrielle Chanel ‘Black’ is one of her iconic colours since her lover Boy Capel’s death 1919. Around that period of time, lots of women wore in black after the death of their boyfriends or husbands who died in the world war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1507174700460-BNFKM1APZ6Z32IX6XOAS/wuttke_10037.jpg Embroidery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1508152231207-MI1F16NSQ5V3OQ0AY5VB/wuttke_10008.jpg Embroidery - Les Colliers_My Chanel Collection 70x71 cm, Embroidery on fabric paper with hand-made recycled sequins. (75hours work) Until around 1920 long pearl necklaces were reserved for the upper class society in England. In 1921, Coco Chanel was offered the long pearl necklace from Duke of Westminster. It was 2m of fine pearls. She loved this pearl necklace, saying that my bohemian skin became much whiter (with pearls). She quickly transformed the fashion world with her pearl necklaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1507175516873-6DZMQYV29KS8UOOT1C7O/wuttke_10040.jpg Embroidery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1507174596679-KHXLZZV2V4Y8PVYLCAA2/wuttke_10022.jpg Embroidery - La mode selon Coco_My Chanel Collection 50x91 cm, Embroidery on fabric paper with hand-made recycled sequins.

world and the Human world/Urban life on the subject of Galaxias, a critically endangered animal listed in the EPBC Act. The first part compares water in Rintoul Creek in Gippsland where Galaxias live and the Yarra River near Princes Bridge Melbourne. The second part consists of three urban elements in rapid motion in contrast with the slow movement of Rintoul Creek blended with bushfire images. The three urban footages conceptualise global warming resulting from excess energy and food consumption, which impacts the vulnerable ecosystem. The last part is my performance which depicts a human who became a salmon and a predator of Galaxias. It takes a cleansing Shinto (Indigenous Japanese religion) ritual as atonement in contrast to the playful dance inviting viewers to engage in this distressful subject. Shinto, which is my cultural background, has two styles of rituals, solemn and playful, as seen in my performances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1764551041977-FU2E8RDESZAYUQLOU7L4/Galaxias_video_still_1.jpg For Galaxias https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1764550992712-FC2YLI4K8P249GIEOMBD/image-asset.octet-stream For Galaxias https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1764551052585-QT5UA33UH89TLTWOPBMB/Galaxias_video_still_2.jpg For Galaxias https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1764551060758-KLC1FZH9HGJQ4M4GGYOC/Galaxias_video_still_3.jpg For Galaxias https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1766376109769-LRBDF4N2Y85CG9HEPREH/image-asset.jpeg For Galaxias - For Galaxias https://www.takakoosawa.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-03-16 https://www.takakoosawa.com/about daily 0.75 2019-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/1507183611534-Z2MIITN5PEOCAZLG21QM/wuttke_10055.jpg About https://www.takakoosawa.com/extinct-australian-animals daily 0.75 2024-02-21 https://www.takakoosawa.com/extinct-australian-animals-1 daily 0.75 2024-02-21 https://www.takakoosawa.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2024-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/cfcb07ad-f3b6-412a-847f-40f13c024f33/14A15360-706F-4B97-A8FF-AC8A45BABB79_1_105_c.jpeg New Page Notomys macrotis (Big-Eared Hopping mouse) Lived: the Moore River area of South Western Australia Extinction:circa 1860 Reason for extinction: Mass land clearance for livestock https://www.takakoosawa.com/contact-wells daily 0.75 2024-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/8e5b4b5e-2b83-401e-84a7-af1e098299c5/European+Women+in+Business_2.jpg Contact https://www.takakoosawa.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2025-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/f07a4e4f-0665-4ea6-a14a-efb2e0c144c7/takako.png Bio https://www.takakoosawa.com/boro-rintoul-creek-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/d49ad1cd-ea43-465d-a133-312e33d9cbb3/Takako-Osawa-VCA-20251007_DSC0241-edit.jpg Boro Rintoul Creek Textile, 540 x 54 cm, 2025 I hand patched 160 – 110 year-old Boro, “worn out” in Japanese which depicts Rintoul Creek where Galaxias, a native fish lives. Galaxias are listed as critically endangered animals by the EPBC Act. I use the Boro which is from my region in Japan to speak my concerns about Ecology juxtaposing the history of Rintoul Creek with Japanese and my personal history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/97242748-2716-4407-92a9-ec288c18edf1/BRC_end_WEB.jpg Boro Rintoul Creek Later, vintage Western clothes appear telling the history of Salmonids launched by early European settlers which became predators for Galaxias. Around the same period Japan was forced to open its borders and Kimono culture was marginalised. My grandmother used to make rugs with Boro and the antique clothes and laces are from Paris flea markets which I bought during my fashion studies there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/bc3f71ad-2b29-424e-8d4e-29574b1e48f4/Takako-Osawa-VCA-20251007_DSC0262-edit.jpg Boro Rintoul Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/0d95ff92-9aa0-4094-9b83-813dcb3e1c3b/Takako-Osawa-VCA-20251007_DSC0298-edit.jpg Boro Rintoul Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/5f43e2e8-7c35-4285-abb9-0631ae300ff2/Takako-Osawa-VCA-20251007_DSC0280-edit.jpg Boro Rintoul Creek The first 2.3m of Boro patch demonstrates water reflections from their rich natural environments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d21caa0abd041b0253ad4a/3eb9ece3-78b8-4eed-9539-1bcbfd9c1043/BRC_final_with+Bowl_WEB.jpg Boro Rintoul Creek Rintoul Creek and Galaxias are extremely vulnerable due to the recent bushfires. I lost my dearest uncle and aunt due to a fire a few years ago, which I expressed at the end of the Boro. This work is a conversation between me and the Galaxias in Rintoul Creek. The water in the bowl is from Rintoul Creek.
