White Mountaineering, which has long been creating clothing based on the concept that "everything you wear in the outdoors is outdoors," has created "repose wear" from a different perspective, and it is imbued with a solid reality.

A different perspective from that of White Mountaineering, which has a lot of information. This is a different way of thinking from the impact-oriented creations that are necessary to showcase clothes in a show.

Who was it who said that fashion and politics are closely related in a sense? It may sound a bit roundabout to call it politics, but it is quite natural that what is demanded changes depending on the current trends of the times and the world of the time. How much can a designer continue to present sincere collections that do not betray themselves while keeping an eye on the ever-changing world? This is where designers show their skills.
Because of the many opportunities to work with Italy and China, Mr. Aizawa was aware of the situation that the Corona disaster would bring about at a very early stage. The result of his early action is "Reposeware. During our interview, we talked about a number of new concepts for the future.
