FOUCUS02_FREAK'S STORE
I am proud that I was able to create a good product because I was given the freedom to do so.PROFILE
. Previously, he was in charge of domestic planning at a certain apparel company that develops global brands. He joined Daytona International in 2017, the year before last, and is currently in charge of planning men's products as a planner for "Freaks Store" and led this special order collection.
Among all the stores that have made special orders this season, the number of variations is outstanding.
. Yes, you could almost call it a capsule collection (laughs). The series using corduroy material alone includes coveralls, overalls, 6-pocket pants, game vests, shirts, caps, bags, and a total of 8 models, as well as CPO shirts in heavy flannel and twill. The colors are also specially ordered in grayish tones that are hard to find in the vintage clothing market, and the materials and colors are presented as a single series.
A: Wasn't it a challenge to have corduroy as the main material for your first special order instead of denim?
. In fact, we even had a denim sample ready to go. But since the timing was autumn/winter, we thought it would be better to push the sense of the season to the forefront. And that's how we came up with the lineup you see here.
I see. With such a complete lineup, what do you recommend to wear?
Other than the corduroy series, for example, the flannel shirts are also available in the same colorway. Therefore, we recommend a tone-on-tone combination this season, with brown corduroy for the coveralls and six-pocket pants, and a brown check for the inner shirt.
. You are trying to show the contrast in texture between the materials by matching the tones.
Yes, it is. Also, this time we are making a special order for the flasher. There are about 30 different names and flashers archived, and I selected the college notebook design from them. . We have separated them into different materials for shirts and corduroy. . They look cute lined up again, so please check them out on the sales floor.
. Interesting. What do you think is the appeal of the new "Big Mac"?
One of the reasons for this is our affinity with trends. In this case, we were able to take iconic items such as coveralls and plaid shirts and give them a "Freaks Store" twist while incorporating trendy elements.
A: The high degree of freedom in custom orders is a strong point, isn't it?
I was given the freedom to do what I wanted, and I'm proud to say that I was able to produce a good product because of that.
Three Big Mac products specially ordered by Freaks Store.
From the corduroy series, which offers a total of eight models from outerwear to accessories, we present a coverall and a drawstring bag. In addition, we recommend three types of shirts, including a heavy flannel shirt with an original check pattern, which was created by analyzing and reproducing old clothes and adding an arrangement. The neutral color palette is sure to fit the current mood.
