With the heat wave continuing, we tend to put off thinking about what we will wear in the season ahead, but fashion lovers are always on the lookout for new items.
And when it comes from a new label of a textile manufacturer and distributor with a 100-year history in Yamanashi Prefecture, it is bound to attract the attention of even the most discerning clothing enthusiast. Have you heard of "KOBAYASHI HOUSE"?
Silk fabrics are famous in Yamanashi, and the fabrics woven in the Kobayashi-house atelier are made on shuttle looms that have existed for over 100 years. Weaving at low speed on an analog machine keeps the natural fullness of the threads intact, giving the fabric a slight shimmer and depth.
The rebranding was initiated by Ms. Suga, a fashion designer based in Milan, and photographers/videographers Mr. Takahara and Ms. Yasuda, with the aim of introducing the silk weaving techniques and culture possessed by "Kobayashi House" to the rest of the world.
As our first initiative, we created jackets and pants for photographers that combine traditional techniques with modern functionality and aesthetics.
Jacket ¥77,000
Pants ¥55,000
While using the signature silk of "KOBAYASHI HOUSE," we have developed an original fabric inspired by kimono tsumugi fabric. The result is a fabric that is tough enough to withstand the movements of daily life, while maintaining the elegance of silk.
The jacket is short so that the pockets do not interfere when bending at the waist. The action pleats make it ideal for days when you move a lot. A convenient pocket for quickly storing small items is also a nice detail.
In addition, at the event, the designer Suga's vintage clothing store, "Kaquarion VintageThere are also items from the "Mere Old Man. Italian shirts purchased in Milan, scarves, bags, etc. are also on display.
Using recycled materials is important, but a piece of clothing should be consumed over time and loved. He believes that this is what leads to sustainability, and has selected a selection of his best items.
¥1,000-¥1,600 per cup
They can also drink natural wine while looking at the clothes at the venue. The event will be held for two days from Saturday, July 12 to Sunday, July 13. It will be a great holiday to enjoy shopping while toasting with your close friends.
