Hello! I'm Haru, a total fashion geek!
As announced yesterday, today I'll be talking about items from vowels!!
What's more, the item I'm introducing this time is—
and this is just my personal taste and bias talking—
a special piece that definitely makes it into my top 3 light outerwear picks for 26AW.
Let's dive right in!
vowels
-Silk Blouson-
With its roots in the street scene,
it's a quintessentially vowels piece—
a contemporary item that shines with
Japanese essence and sophisticated techniques.
I was trembling the moment I saw the photos.
Beyond the feelings of "cool" or "stylish,"
the "intuitive" urge to have it came first—
it’s the kind of feeling you get when you choose
art over fashion.
In fact, this item leans heavily toward art,
and the floral pattern has a depth that
reminisces of classical art.
Since 26AW features items that incorporate
the works of painter Frans Everbag into their design,
this blouson also feels like a deep piece
imbued with that same atmosphere.
It's not just about putting a floral print on clothes;
it’s the irresistible way it exudes a luxurious,
mature allure without losing its street edge!
Because this blouson is based on silk,
it produces a luxurious feel with an elegant sheen
and beautiful drape.
Silk combined with floral patterns can sometimes
turn out frumpy or dated if you're not careful...
But this piece translates that difficult nuance
into a street aesthetic, maintaining a perfect balance.
The comfort that only silk can provide brings a
smooth, mature mood that cotton or wool just can't match.
Items that are too refined can be hard to wear,
but that’s not the case with vowels.
It’s a piece of clothing where the vibe of New York
fuses with exquisite, delicate Japanese craftsmanship.
Even though it's a Japanese brand,
I'm strongly drawn to its non-domestic design and essence.
I have a feeling that adults who love Raf Simons
will really gravitate toward this, haha.
As it's a zip-up blouson, it's easy to wear,
and I recommend it not only as light outerwear but also as an accent piece
worn under a coat or jacket to add a touch of flair
to your styling.
It is the ultimate piece—
clothing that is also art.
If you're interested, please come
try it on at our store!
