James Coward is a Vancouver, Canada-based brand founded by Joseph and Daniel Coward.
The U.S. "C.H.C.M", Canada's "NEIGHBOURMAIDENS SHOP" is the first shop in Japan to carry the brand, which is a noteworthy newcomer.
They draw inspiration not from the framework of fashion, but from film, literature, architecture, photography, sculpture, and music. They consciously reject contemporary trends and the meaning of clothes, and pursue a reinterpretation of the essential, universal approach to dressmaking, which, so to speak, reveals a sincere approach to clothing making. Joseph is said to respect "Frank Reeder," which makes perfect sense.
Also, rejecting the modern fashion business system, the brand does not present collections separated by the general spring/summer and fall/winter seasons, but rather proposes products suited to each store while maintaining relationships with each store. In other words, the brand strives to create fundamental and conceptual clothes, as if to redefine the environment of clothes making and clothes in the modern age.
The visual shown here was published in Kennedy Magazine. It is no wonder that so many connoisseurs have their eyes on it.
You have to see the quality and design of these brands with your own eyes and hands to understand their value. Now is the time to get your hands on one.
