BERNARD ZINS × L'ECHOPPE "L'1" ¥30,000+TAX
. Sampling, like Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West, pays homage to the original and creates a new work of art.
This trend has become a movement not only in the music scene, but also in the fashion scene, and an exemplary product will be dropped on us on Saturday, January 25.
The "L'1" is the result of a hand-to-hand collaboration between the long-established French slacks specialist "BERNARD ZINS" and "L'ECHOPPE," and it combines the best features of slacks and work pants.
It is available in seven colors: black, gray, blue, beige, bordeaux, orange, and brown. The coloring is faithfully reproduced, reminiscent of the original.
At first glance, this pair of work pants, tailored by the prestigious "Bernard Xanth" based on the work pants used by skaters, appears to be an authentic pair of work pants.
However, the silhouette, adjusted to the millimeter, draws clean straight lines like slacks. The inside incorporates the structure of slacks, and every detail shows Bernard Xanth's craftsmanship and proud sense of aesthetics. Only by looking through the legs can you see the high degree of perfection of this piece.
The material used is also cotton polyester, which is not normally used by Bernard Xanth.
This is a good example of how sampling and homage can be done by the hands of a "reshop" to create a neat product without being eccentric. It is easy to say, but I am impressed by the high degree of difficulty involved, and the fact that it can only be done with a high degree of refinement.
As for the story behind the production of this one, which was finally completed after much dialogue between the two parties,Kaneko's BlogThe story is told in .
