Hello! I'm Haru, a fashion geek!
Everyone! It’s been a while!!!
Last week, we had what could be called
the biggest delivery in sign's history,
and since I was busy with work
from morning till night every day,
I completely stopped updating
the blog.
I’ve finally been able to find some breathing room starting this week,
so I’m going to restart
my "fashion addict diary"!
I’m sure many of you
forgot this blog existed,
but it’s definitely still active, haha.
I’ve had so many items I wanted to talk about,
so I’m planning to really dive into them!
The item I’m introducing today
is the hottest one right now, and one many of you are eyeing...
I want it too, but
I absolutely can’t afford it, haha.
So, I’m planning to pour all my
thoughts into this blog post.
That item is...
ssstein
-MOUTON COLLAR WOOL CASHMERE
PADDED JACKET(ST.1546)-
col.GREY
col.DARK NAVY
This is a blouson that represents this season, one that captivated many when it appeared on the runway!
It features a "MOUTON COLLAR,"
which appeared in 26SS.
After being so popular that it sold out on the very same day back then,
this season it returns in a wool-cashmere fabric!
It’s had the biggest response in this season’s ssstein collection,
and even though sign brought in the most stock,
there are only a few left...
It’s terrifying, haha.
Despite having no unnecessary decoration,
it has a solid presence.
Its demeanor is,
in a way, like modern art.
It’s structured, yet it never feels too inorganic; you can feel a beauty that was calculated down to the smallest detail.
The brand's concept is
"From nothing to something. Expressing the space between."
This item also fully reflects
that "space between."
When I calmly analyzed
why I’m so drawn to this item,
the reason became clear on its own.
It’s the balance between the "addition" of material texture
and the "subtraction" of design.
It uses wool-cashmere for the material.
They didn’t just choose a warm material to accommodate the autumn/winter season.
By combining the high-quality, soft
wool-cashmere with ssstein’s signature oversized
silhouette, they make the material’s natural drape stand out more, creating a sophisticated, relaxed feel.
The leather at the collar takes on the role of
providing "contrast" to tighten up that soft, warm overall feel.
By opting not to make it detachable,
the leather strap remains visible, creating a perfect balance that prevents it from feeling too soft.
Furthermore, by popping the collar,
the different textures of the leather and shearling stand out more,
adding a sense of gravity to the styling.
The softness of wool-cashmere
and the ruggedness of leather.
It’s precisely because these two seemingly contrasting
materials bring out each other's charm
that the design itself avoids gimmicks, remaining simple and modern.
Without either element being too loud,
the whole piece comes together as one.
A piece where you can feel the beauty of the "space between" that is so quintessentially ssstein.
Since it’s one of the headline items for this season,
if you have your eye on it, you really need to
make a quick decision, or it wouldn't be surprising if it were gone by the end of this week.
I can say for sure that this 26AW season of ssstein
is the best one yet!
If you’re interested, act fast!
