TWIN BROTHERS IN AIGLE

The Ida brothers, stylists, discover the contemporary appeal of Aigle.

Originally loved by countryside dwellers and farmers, AIGLE is now committed to the lifestyles of people from all walks of life. For the first time in the brand's 169-year history, the three members of the Études creative team, Orelian Albe, Jeremy Egli, and Josée Ramali, have been appointed artistic directors. They share the brand's attitude nurtured over a long period of time and produced the first collection. At the core of the collection are GORE-TEX coats and rubber boots. We asked the twins, Nobuyuki Ida and Masaaki Ida, who are both stylists, to styled these two items for us and talked about the new "Aigle" brand.

All black , refined silhouette .

A.: Next, the iconic "Aigle" rubber boots have been rethought in terms of proportions and now have a sharper silhouette with gentle curves. . First of all, we would like to hear from Nobuyuki's coordination. Tell us about your fresh idea of wearing them with a skirt with an irregular hem.

Nobuyuki:. I feel a French-based traditional atmosphere in "Aigle. I thought of the coat as a way to lean on "Etude," and when I thought about the style I honestly wanted to wear, I got the feeling that I wanted to move up a gear overall. Both of us have been wearing skirts for some time, and the length of the skirt we chose this time is just right to show off the length of the boots. We thought it would be interesting to show off the texture of the rubber material, rather than leather, as a suggestion for how to wear it.

Nobuyuki's Boots Style

I thought that when showing off the beautiful texture of the boots, combining different material textures, such as nylon, in the same color tone would make them stand out.

What was your perspective in choosing the tops?

Nobuyuki:I thought the tight silhouette of these boots would go well with the mode. The GORE-TEX field jacket from "AEGLE" looked classy, so I paired it with a shiny shirt. I felt that by matching the materials of the upper and lower garments, but changing only the footwear, the styling could be more interesting. I thought it would be a more modern way of presenting the outfit.

Masaaki:. it's nice, isn't it? On the other hand, if you wear a slightly classic jacket, you can have a farmer's style from the beginning of the 20th century. So I felt that you are updating the classics well.

Masaaki's Boots Style

In a positive sense, I may not have been conscious of styling these boots in a special way (laughs). (Laughs) "In a positive sense, I may not have been conscious of styling these boots in a particular way, but they fit in naturally with my everyday outfit.

Masaaki-san, I understand that you also own authentic boots made before Etude joined the company.

Masaaki:Yes . I usually used these shoes for town use, and they were easy to match, but thinking back, I used to wear them with half pants or other items that had an outdoor element. . This time, the boots have been updated, with an all-black sole and refined silhouette, and I thought I could style them in the same way as I would wear side-gore boots. They are good enough as rain boots, of course, but they can also be worn with flared denim or pants that have a good design, which is difficult to do with ordinary boots. . So I was able to incorporate them as an extension of my usual mindset.

. It seems to me that both of you would be wearing them on a regular basis (laughs).

Masaaki:That's how much these boots can be worn with anything without giving off a "dare" feeling.

Available in high and middle lengths, the boots are surprisingly the first rubber boots from Aigle to come in an all-black colorway. The boots are finished with a matte luster while retaining the texture of natural rubber. The coexistence of functionality as rain boots and a clean form with a high heel is innovative."
