Enchanting Costumes for ChumToto by SMALL RACK

SMALL RACK LLC has proudly announced the design and production of costumes for "ChumToto," the youngest unit under Dear Stage, set to debut in April 2025. The company, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, specializes in costume design for artists, idols, and advertisements, ensuring a unique aesthetic tailored for each performer.

About ChumToto

"ChumToto" is a youthful group composed of five members aged 17 to 18 years. The name combines the words "Chum" (meaning close friends) and "Toto" (small), symbolizing their mission to accompany everyone in life as a supportive partner, making it a captivating choice for a debuting unit aiming to resonate with a young audience.

Their debut track, 'Chum Toto', encapsulates the group's theme of transitioning from dreams to reality, emphasizing possibilities emerging from the depths of imagination. The song promises to engage listeners while showcasing the dynamic spirit of youth, as reflected in their performance video.

Costume Design Details

The costumes typify a dreamlike atmosphere, blending ethereal floating sensations with sparkling elements to represent the enchanting world of "ChumToto." To craft this vision, SMALL RACK designed original fabrics from scratch, ensuring that each piece resonates with the group's ethereal theme.

The entire costume set features a separate structure, with particular attention to the exquisite accordion pleats that add visual intrigue. The skirt, fashioned in an asymmetrical style, strikingly balances delicate beauty and whimsical lightness, making it a focal point of attraction.

All fabrics, including check and floral patterns, were custom-made, intentionally incorporating hints of the unit's name, "ChumToto," into bright color schemes for an added playful touch. The asymmetry in the design is further emphasized by oversized bows and classic sailor collars, showcasing the unique dream-core aesthetic that defines ChumToto.
