ABC's of getting to know Anfilo. part 2

Anfilo's set-up has an exquisite balance of a relaxed mood, sharp appearance, and a noble atmosphere. Here, we focus on its lightweight comfort and its construction that does not hinder movement. Various variations are available in different materials, but all of them have one thing in common: they are made with high stretchability to ensure ease of movement. In fact, they are excellent for maintaining comfort even during strenuous sports-like movements. It is understandable that they do not cause stress in daily life.

Color is one of the most important factors in creating clothing that fits everyone, regardless of race, age, gender, or title. For this reason, Anfilo focuses on choosing neutral colors that suit everyone. For example, the color palette of pink and saxophone is not expressed in a straightforward manner, but rather the creator looks at the gradation of colors and selects colors that will be suitable for a wide range of people. Such unique color selection may be difficult to understand on its own. However, when you look at the collection as a whole, it ultimately leads to the characteristics of "Anfilo.

Octa®CPCP®, a new material developed by Teijin Frontier, is used mainly for heavy winter clothing. This appears to be a mesh-like lining, but it actually has excellent heat retention properties, is lightweight and thin, and can even be washed at home. So, unlike conventional down or padding, it is not bulky and easy to handle. This is generally used for sports and outdoor clothing, but "Anfilo" dares to use it for trench coats, lapel jackets, and slacks. It can be used for clothes with a sleek silhouette, which was difficult with padding or down fabrics.

Anfilo, which sells mainly through Onward Closet (the official online store) Men's", which sells mainly through Onward Closet (its official online store), actually holds pop-up events on a regular basis. At these events, which take the form of showrooming stores, product samples are prepared at the venue, and customers can actually take the clothes in their hands and see how they feel in them. If you are interested in an item, you can purchase it at the online store, rather than on the spot, so you can shop after careful consideration. The third phase of this showrooming store is now open. This time, there will be a chance to buy some items on the spot. If you are interested in the new fall/winter products, we recommend that you take this opportunity to visit the store.

A: It is said that fashion is like the air and represents the times and the world, and capturing the sense of the times is what I consider most important in creating a design. I always carry a notebook with me, and while keeping an eye on what is going on in the world, I write down what I am interested in, and from there, I think about what is needed and try to give it shape.

A: . to think of the unlikely. To surprise people, sometimes it is important to think of yourself as a clown and come up with outlandish ideas. No matter what people think, outlandish ideas can lead to unexpected designs. During meetings, I try to come up with such ideas while laughing, and I feel that this leads to originality in the end.

A: Recently, jogging has been refreshing. Running helps me to organize my thoughts and get my ideas together. Music helps motivate me, and when my favorite song plays while I am running, the synergistic effect makes me feel even more positive and motivated to take on various challenges.

A: . Taking pictures. While facing the subject, how to balance the subject within the angle of view. What elements should be included and what should be omitted? What elements should be included and what should be omitted, and what colors should be adjusted? I believe that by pursuing beauty while organizing the various vectors of information in a photograph, one can develop a sense of balance in the act of taking a picture. . I believe this is also a very important point in refining styling.

A: After all, it is a team, or a group of friends. Clothes cannot be made by a single person. There are many people involved: the person who develops the fabric, the person who comes up with the design, the person who draws the patterns, the person who sews the clothes, and so on. Thankfully, "Anfilo" is also blessed with a wonderful team, and the ideas of each person come together to create attractive clothes. . Therefore, we absolutely cannot do without our friends.

A: . By looking at the materials, I think about what kind of clothes I want to make. For this reason, I usually try to look at a variety of materials. It is important to know about even cheap materials, rather than pursuing only good ones. I think it is important for a designer to know what to express within that range. Even the same material can look different depending on the time period, and it is important to always be in contact with a lot of things in order to judge whether they are good or bad.

A: . is to see the real thing. . one that has a reputation backed by history. It becomes a standard of value for me, and when I have any doubts, I can go back to it. . It is also my custom to write with a pencil in my own hand. In an increasingly digitalized world, there is something about the importance of handwriting, whether it is letters or drawings, that I feel. The rhythm and speed of writing can also teach us something when we face ourselves.

A: . Training of young people. Nowadays, anyone can make things. . That is why there is a need for meaning and philosophy. I would be happy if young people could use my own values and ideas about design as a reference. I would like to teach at a fashion school someday.

A: Function and Beauty Function and beauty. Anfilo's clothing is a well-balanced coexistence of these two elements. Neither one should be lacking, and neither should be too close to the other. It is important that the clothes have a good coexistence of the two, and that they are affordable for everyone. This is the kind of clothing we aim to create.

A: Clothes with functional beauty that can be worn by all kinds of people . Anfilo" is a brand that proposes high quality, affordable clothing.

A stylist, an editor, and a designer . Three people who know "Anfilo" very well picked up and recommended items from this season's clothing lineup. Each of them spoke to us about the charms of the items they focused on from their own perspectives.

. I think this sweatshirt-like knit is attractive not only for its good looks, but also for its versatility in various aspects. For example, from a coordination or fashion point of view, the structured silhouette that gently covers the body is elegant and beautiful. Because of its three-dimensional construction, I think it can be worn by any body type, even by those who are a bit plump.

The color green, which is almost black, is also good and can be easily matched with bottoms of any color, such as black, beige, or gray. The range of clothes it can be paired with is wide, and I think it will not look sloppy when coordinated with rough bottoms such as sweatpants, not to mention slacks.

And it is also excellent in terms of functionality. As is typical of "Anfilo," it resists wrinkling and the silhouette does not collapse, so there is no problem even if you treat it a little casually. I was also pleased to see that it does not lose its shape after washing. Of course, it is comfortable to wear, and the sleeves feel great. It can be used as outerwear in this weather, as an inner layer for a coat when it gets a little colder, and for a long period of time throughout the year. It is truly an excellent item in every respect.

I first became interested in "Anfilo" when I saw a mesh parka at the previous season's exhibition. At the time, I was in the mood for mesh-type clothes, so I was curious about the parka and tried it on. Then, the designer, Mr. Koyama, came in and explained to me about the "Insect Shield" function, including insect repellant. I remember that I was deeply impressed by the brand's true commitment to both design and function. Ever since then, I have been interested in this brand.

The set-up and vest made of "Octa®" material picked up this time are, of course, both functional and well-designed. They are lightweight, warm, and wrinkle-resistant. They are lightweight, warm, wrinkle-resistant, and have a classy look.

However, what I admire more than anything else is the cassette-like quality of the wide variety of items made from this material. It is easy to coordinate, and can be worn on or off depending on how you match it. It reminds me of the old " Prada The freedom and component-like usability, which can be used both individually and as a set-up, reminiscent of the old "Prada Uomo," is what I have been looking for for a long time. The flexibility of the bag in traveling makes it the perfect partner for business trips and travel. And best of all, the price range is very wallet-friendly."

I believe that "Anfilo" was originally recognized by everyone for the comfort of its set-ups, but we had not been able to produce shirts that could be worn with them, which is an important combination. However, we had not been able to produce shirts that could be worn with the set-up, which is an important combination of the two.

. After several seasons of searching, we finally found the fabric used for this shirt. It has a texture like a natural material, dries quickly after washing, and does not wrinkle easily even when left unwashed. It is rakubi and easy to get along with. The brand calls it "Rakubi" (easy beauty). but we believe that we have created a piece of clothing that is truly "easy but beautiful.

The design combines the beauty of classic items with the ease of movement typical of "Anfilo" by adopting a loose-fitting silhouette after studying vintage clothing from the EU and the US. In fact, the collar is also a unique feature of this item, and it has been made in a size and shape that is comfortable even when worn open, so that it can be worn tied up and still look good. The position of the back yoke is also a key point, and we have adopted a balance that is a cross between casual and classic. We are confident in the versatility of this item, which can be worn in a variety of ways, so we encourage you to try it on.

How do I dress for an "Anfilo" outfit?" . To answer these questions, we present you with snapshots of Onward staff members. The outfits are simple and basic, yet they are in tune with the current season. The staff members are of different ages, genders, and styles, but they all seem to fit in, probably because of the functional beauty of "Anfilo's" clothes. We hope you will use them as a reference for your outfits for the coming season.

MOVE TEX", a functional material that resists wrinkling. A jacket with lapels made of MOVE TEX is useful not only for everyday use, but also for travel and business trips. Since there is no need to steam the jacket, it can be quickly removed from a suitcase and taken to a restaurant or bar with a dress code, to a party, or to a business meeting. When you go home, you can throw it in your bag without worrying about anything else. The lightweight material makes it easy and convenient to carry. Even if you never have a chance to wear it, you can keep it in your suitcase or bag for peace of mind. It won't be long before it becomes a staple item on your travel list.

As a matter of course, clothes cannot be made without thread. The threads are layered to form fabric, cut into patterns that suit the purpose, and sewn together to form the garment. The "Anfilo" men's line was born around pants that can be worn in a variety of situations, regardless of generation, and without setting the scene. Move. Functional beauty for all people" is the brand's motto, and pants made of the "MOVE TEX" yarn mentioned in the "T" section were created. The brand name "UNFILO" means "a single thread" in Italian. All the functional beauty is contained in this word.

The visuals for the season visualize the concept of "Move. Functional beauty for everyone" is visualized in the season's visuals. Although these photos are taken in the moment, they give a sense of movement, and the clothes look even more beautiful because Anfilo's clothes are designed with a focus on human movement. MOVE" and "8functions" give the clothes functional beauty. TEX," "8functions," "Octa®CPCP®," and other fabrics that give functional beauty. The coordination, which is universal yet firmly in tune with the current season, visually communicates the brand's appeal and motivates people to get involved in fashion.

Shen Tanaka is a model, actress, and illustrator. She often incorporates men's items into her style on social networking sites such as Instagram. One of her favorite items is a pair of cargo pants by Anfilo. We asked her to talk about the appeal of the Anfilo men's collection from a woman's point of view, along with style samples.

The first time I came across "Anfilo" was when I happened to see a pair of cargo pants on an Insta reel. To be honest, it was love at first sight. I was intrigued by the loose fit, the masculine military look, and the silhouette, so I immediately went online and purchased a pair.

The first thing that surprised me when I tried them on was the stretchiness of the fabric . . I think it probably stretches and shrinks more than readers might imagine. It's getting cooler now, so maybe it's the wrong time of year, but I was also surprised at how cool it feels on the parts that touch my skin! . There are several points that surprised me, but the most important is the beautiful silhouette. I am wearing the largest size (XL), which is actually quite oversized and would normally look a bit sloppy. However, these pants are loose-fitting, but they have a drape to them that gives them a sense of falling down, which makes them look elegant. I thought they are menswear-like, but can be coordinated in a variety of ways with a feminine touch. I really like them and have recommended them to many friends.

I usually wear colorful clothes, but this time I dared to choose subdued tones such as black and gray. I think the shape is more important for simple clothes like the pullover knit or sweatshirt I am wearing right now. I had a strong impression that the "Anfilo" line has a beautiful shape, so I dared to try chic colors in order to emphasize the silhouette. In fact, the clothes are loose-fitting, but not sloppy, and I am happy to be able to wear them with a nice balance of comfort!

This season, "Anfilo" is focusing on the keyword "warm. They are creating clothes that can be easily wrapped in warmth, and this is also true of their collaborative items. Here are some items that will definitely be useful this winter.
