With items from Wild Swans, you can be particular about what you put around you.

We try to make clothes that are an extension of everyday wear. We would be happy if our clothes could be considered a "clothing" brand rather than a "fashion" brand. We aim to make clothes that are practical, have a message, and are of such quality that you would want to wear them every day. We place particular importance on materials, and while there are good ones on the market, we often plan and create from scratch.

This is a cashmere knit set-up, which is released every fall and winter, made from the downy hair of the primary-colored goats in northern Mongolia, known as Outer Mongolia. Cashmere is one of the most cherished materials at "Folle".

For example, underwear is made of wool, and this is especially true for items that come in contact with the skin in daily life and with which there is a lot of communication.

The beauty of natural fibers is that their expression changes depending on the user's lifestyle and way of life. Leather, in particular, is not a fabric made by humans, but leather. Therefore, it is almost like a second skin to the user, and I like the fact that the differences in the expression of the skin come out directly.

I personally like the fact that the notebook has a belt to tuck away pens and other items. Also, when there are this many parts, where the skin is layered in layers, it tends to get thicker, but I think it is great that it is handled so well without bulging out. There are also many other pockets that can be used for storage, which is practical and helpful. Then there are the rounded corners.

As is the case with clothes, it takes more time and effort than straight lines when there are many curves, but the fact that so many curves are used feels rich and special to someone like myself who is making clothes. I also think it's really nice that it's not too rugged and gives a soft impression.

I was a bit worried about how to hold the pen case by itself because of its elegant appearance. It just didn't feel right. However, thanks to the belt on the notebook, I can hold the entire pen case between the notebook and the case, and I feel like I can carry it smartly when I hold it tight. This way of holding it gives it a sense of being contained, and I thought it was cute.

To be honest, that is the only way I know how to do it. I never attended a technical school, and while I was working for a domestic brand during my college years, I apprenticed under designers and learned by watching them in the field. That's why I don't know how to do things digitally. However, my method is not to tell the pattern maker to make something one-sidedly, but rather to share the senses that both I and the pattern maker have in order to determine the ideal shape, which is why I need these abstract pictures.

Natural dyeing is a truly analog method. For example, this denim is colored by reusing bengara, iron oxide dust left over from the ironworks. In order to get the color right with natural dyeing, nuances vary depending on various factors, such as the water temperature, the speed at which the machine is turned, and the bleaching condition of the base fabric. The temperature and humidity of the work location also affect the color, and since it is impossible to know until I try, I also verify the process many times by being present at the work site.

I don't want to have regrets, so I want to create things without lying and by honestly facing the sensations I have. In doing so, I would like to build up my strength by facing the challenges of communicating and learning in a positive manner.
