1 ⊿ Sing Out [MV & Performance Costume]

The key item is the purple leather belt, of which every member received custom one.

The costume designer was inspired by the linen skirts of the 1920s, but dyed purple to tie it in with Nogizaka's official colors

2 ⊿ Inochi wa Utsukushii [MV & Performance Costume]

The dress was created by frequent Nogizaka collaborator, BODYSONG who is known for their layered and transparent fabrics. The pairing of the Air Jordans with it was unexpected but memorable.

3 ⊿ Kouhaku 2016 [Performance Costume]

Designer Kimika Onai had the image of "a rose about to bloom" when designing this dress. Senbatsu members wore the crimson dresses while the under members wore the violet iteration (as seen in the last photo.)

4 ⊿ Kouhaku 2016 [Rehearsal & Post-Perf. Costume]

The key point of this outfit is the stained-glass skirt, but there are some lovely details from the lace to the brooch. The rose-theme from the performance dress is seen in the ring/bracelet accessory

5 ⊿ Ima, Hanashitai Dareka Ga Iru [Performance Costume]

The pastel blue and pink ImaHana dress is another creation by designer Kimika Onai. The sky print is meant to evoke angels, and the dress collar resembles the frame of an intricate painting.

6 ⊿ Shiawase no Hogoshoku [MV & Performance Costume]

And another design by Kimika Onai! The dress seems to be inspired by birds, with embroidered feathers coming down the back of the dress.

7 ⊿ Ano Hi Boku wa Tossa ni Uso wo Tsuita [Performance Costume]

Perhaps one of the post iconic Unders outfits. This was actually the very first dress Kimika Onai designed for Nogizaka. And each square is actually an individual patch stitched together!

8 ⊿ Sayonara No Imi [MV Prop]

The golden antlers headpiece worn by Hashimoto Nanami in the Sayonara no Imi video was made by jewelry designer Mika Fukamitsu. It's a truly gorgeous piece and such a memorable part of the music video!

8 ⊿ Nigemizu [MV & Performance Costume]

This intricately embroidered dress is another courtesy of BODYSONG. It has a very different feel from the main, flowy performance costumes of Nigemizu, but it's still a very beautiful dress.

9 ⊿ FNS 2015 Festival [Performance Costume]

Voted best costume by the Nogi members themselves, this elegant dress is a stand-out for being one of the few black dresses they've worn. Onai said she was inspired by golden painting frames for this design.

11 ⊿ 21st Single Uniform
(Sorry skipped a number)

Designed by MURRAL, the theme of this dress is "vintage marine." The retro-colored stripes, ribbons, and gold buttons are chic and refreshing for the summer.

12 ⊿ Barrette [Performance Uniform]

The dress with the unique pattern and classic fit matched Nogizaka's classy image perfectly. Not sure what happened with the collar though. The one on display at N46AW seemed to be Ikuta's based on the collar design.

13 ⊿ Manatsu no Zenkoku Tour 2018 ~6th Birthday Live~ [Performance Costume]

One of the many odd costumes at the 2018 BDL. This one has a sequined geometric pattern with a variety of different colored belts for each member.

14 ⊿ Nishino Nanase Graduation Dress

Made by Onai in consultation with Nanase herself, this whimsical graduation dress was inspired by the pigeons that Nanase loves.

16 ⊿ Yoakemade Tsuyogaranakutemoii [Performance Costume]

Designed by Onai, this checkered black-and-white dress is perhaps one of the most memorable Nogi dress in recent years. The flowiness of the dress matches the dance and feel of the song perfectly!

17 ⊿ Hashire! Bicycle [MV Dress]

I don't think this dress has ever been seen outside of the music video. It's still pretty iconic though.

18 ⊿ 13th Single Uniform

As some of you may know, Nogi management usually assigns uniforms based on age.
In this case, all of the members born in 1994 and after (except Kaz) have neckties and boleros, while the older members wear blazers and ribbons.

19 ⊿ Kouhaku 2018 Costume [Performance Costume]

According to designer Yusuke from MURRAL, the white embroidery lace represents the image of the future while the chic wine-colored lace is inspired by a place of love-- The togetherness before a departure.

20 ⊿ Harujion ga Sakukoro [Performance Costume]

The Harujion, a specific daisy called the Philadelphia fleabane in English, is embroidered on this delicate organdy dress. There is a message embroidered on the sleeve... but I was never able to read it.

https://twitter.com/korobizaka/status/1272229088237944833?s=20
21 ⊿ 4th Generation Member Uniform

This khaki uniform has a classic look with it's red check, peter pan-collar, and red velvet ribbon to tie the look together. Designer Yusuke from MURRAL aimed to create a design with originality and cuteness.

https://twitter.com/korobizaka/status/1272229089622003713?s=20
22 ⊿ 15th Single Uniform

Another refreshing blue check uniform! For this uniform, the U-20s wore ribbons, and their skirts had an extra accent line around the hem. The older members had off-center buttons and a peter pan collar.

23 ⊿ Hoka no Hoshi Kara [MV & Performance Costume]

One of the most instantly recognizable B-Side costumes. These mod-inspired color block dresses definitely look like they came from "another star"

24 ⊿ Nandome no Aozora ka? [MV & Performance Costume]

This BODYSONG creation is a combination of white eyelet fabric and turquoise/pink transparent fabric with a peplum. The collar has an intricate lace around it and the sleeves have an opening slit.

25 ⊿ 13nichi no Kinyoubi [Performance Costume]

This fluffy, Alice in Wonderland-like costume is popular among members and fans alike. It feels like a very traditional idol costume, paired with cute over-the-top hair accessories.
