This season takes inspiration from the "Ama", continuously deconstructing and reshaping traditional silhouettes, incorporating wave-like elements. Embracing the brand's expertise in deconstructive style, it once again presents the transformative and versatile "one garment, multiple styles" design. In today's gender-neutral fashion landscape, the brand continues to deconstruct and redefine representative clothing for both men and women while maintaining its classic dark aesthetic DNA.
The garment's design is based on the visual profile of a formal shirt, with intricate details that set it apart. The inner layer of the clothing features a unique stand-up collar design, from which two panels extend outwards. The outer layer resembles the structure of a lapel, and drawstring features on both sides of the waist add versatility to the garment's appearance. These drawstrings can be used to create dynamic, wave-like folds on the fabric, allowing the straps to naturally drape on the sides. They can also be tied to fasten the outer layer panels, adding depth and complexity to the overall look.
Additionally, drawstrings are thoughtfully incorporated on the cuffs, giving you the flexibility to wear them either relaxed like a traditional shirt sleeve or cinched for a shorter sleeve length. This design approach strikes a balance between elegance and intricate detailing, enhancing the overall appeal of the garment.
This shirt can be paired with the brand's classic Japanese deconstructed wide-leg shorts, accentuating the fashion-forward nature of the entire outfit while adding visual depth.

"We are squandering the resources bestowed upon us by nature, and we don't have a second Earth."
This season, the clothing structure draws inspiration from the characteristics of the ocean, incorporating wave-like elements into garments such as shirts and suit hems. The use of crisscrossing straps and ties evokes imagery reminiscent of swimwear. By leveraging the differences in fabric textures, the combination of glossy fabrics and straps creates a layered effect, mimicking the appearance of clothing worn by a sea nymph when soaked by seawater.
The print designs are inspired by the glistening ripples reflected on the sea's surface. Utilizing digital synthesis techniques, these prints transform ocean waste materials into patterns that blend the beautiful and the unsettling, creating a fashionable style. The choice of fabric material is particularly environmentally conscious, as recycled PET bottles are used to create yarn, symbolizing the coexistence of sustainability with the sea nymph culture.
This season's collection not only embraces the essence of the ocean but also pays tribute to ecological awareness. It combines ocean-inspired structural elements with innovative digital print designs and eco-friendly fabric choices, aligning fashion with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
