The boundaries between menswear and womenswear has been blurred. In this season A/W , unisex elements and shapes in Japanese retail markets bring more possibilities and broad appeal.
New checks are seen at Louis Vuitton, BOSS and Maison Margiela. Knitwear for men and women is utility. Opening Ceremony's tapes in the bright knitted piece add newness. Monkey Time uses checks in similar colors and different sizes to add a fashionable and leisure feel.
Letter techniques are key for knitwear markets. Innovative details can be found in pre-fall Japanese retail markets. Christian Dada's mismatched jacquard letters and contrasting yarns, HUF's foam printing, X-girl's dimensional press printing and ombre effect add a richer visual.
MARK&LONA puts emphasis on techniques for skulls. The weird jacquards, kwise and purl stitches, dimensional outline, delicate appliques and machine embroidery give broad appeal.
The neat and simple knitted jacket is eye-catching. Louis Vuitton creatively combines fur with letters in an irregular layout. The soft tactility and smooth surface show warmth. Black, white and camel are mixed to exude a premium and elegant feel. The solid jacket at WARE-mo-KOU has a simple shape and clear stitches. The architectural silhouette makes a statement.
Chanel's garments are elegant and refined. In this season, the knitted dress underlines the elegant, simple and easy-to-wear quality. Unlike heavy tweeds, soft wool is combined with bright metallic yarns to show a airy quality and an sophisticated aesthetic. Classic black and white are paired with lightweight yarns to make the special dress. Pockets and argyle weaving interpret the elegant and noble spirit.
