{{widget type="Fascinate\\Blog\\Block\\Widget\\TableOfContents"}}

Today, FAS-GROUP staff, Takenaka will introduce {{widget type="Magento\\Catalog\\Block\\Category\\Widget\\Link" anchor_text="©SAINT M××××××" title="©SAINT M××××××" template="category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/522"}} that is being sold at The R Osaka Minami Horie store!

What I would like to introduce this time is a T-shirt which is the most suitable item for this season. This is the second season for Saint Michael. I would like to introduce the past T-shirts that have been released so far. This T-shirt is one of the most popular items in ©SAINT M×××××× collection, but the 2020 -21 AW collection has been released in 6 types/2021 SS collection as many as 11 types.

The design and processing are homages to the original.

First of all, regarding the size, the US specification uses a slightly short round body with a wide-body and an overall loose size.

Although there are a few bodies made of the same fabric, many items have a vintage look with a drum-type large tumbler that has a dry finish.

The design is based on flock print, rubbing print, dyeing print, spray design, etc. When you wear it or wash it, it will crack like a vintage T-shirt and create a texture like a vintage item.

Although it uses a lot of different work processes, the fact that the color does not fade and deteriorate over time is due to the special processing that is unique to the brand.

Also, the fabric is thick and doesn't have a twisting feel, and even if it starts to twinge, it will have a more vintage texture, so you will feel the real vintage "taste".

Regarding the design that incorporates "original material", which is the main item in this article, there are many items that incorporate the design of many artists, and among them, there are many items that are packed with the uniqueness of the brand.

Not just as it is, but through the brand "Saint Michael", I have created a piece of work and feel respect for the artist.

Personally, I love music so much that I felt like a child when "Saint Michael" was established.

Also, this is an aside, but actually, I have been wearing a lot of used clothes since I was a high school student.

Before joining FAS-GROUP, I was working at an American casual shop, so I collected vintage T-shirts and so on, and I remember when I heard of St. Michael, I felt nostalgic!

Aside from that, let's look back on which artist's items were given homage together with the past items!!

©️SAINT M×××××× 2020-21AW T-shirt collection.

Based on the theme of "Michael", which comes from the brand name "MICHAEL", this collection was created by researching Adam, Jesus, Christianity, etc.

This is a T-shirt collection with a vintage feel, with the main print being grazed this season.

①Artist：Jane's Addiction

This item is in homage to Jane's Addiction's 3rd album (2nd in Major), Ritual De Lo Habitual released in 1990.

It is a band that livened up the scene of alternative rock, one of the genres of music.

②Artist：NIRVANA Kurt Cobain

This item is in homage to the 90's The End of Music T-shirt.

The original item has a Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain printed on the front and a hand-drawn picture printed on the back.

Kurt Cobain, who has released various masterpieces, went to heaven at the young age of 27, but he is a legendary artist whose name is still alive.

©️SAINT M×××××× 2021SS T-shirt collection.

The second season's 2021 SS collection features a variety of designs including original designs and characters.

Compared to the past season, various techniques such as flock print, rubbing print, dyed print is used.

The body is also vintage processed, giving it an impression that it is very close to a vintage item.

①Artist：NIRVANA

This is a homage to the T-shirt with a heart shape box released in August 1993 by the artist Nirvana who was also used in 2020-21AW.

The song is one of the legends that sing "Those who object to racism and abortion."

Also, the original T-shirts have become extremely rare and are now sold for as much as 100,000 Japanese yen.

②Artist：Dinosaur Jr.

This is an homage to the T-shirt of THE WAGON, an album released in 1991 by Dinosaur Jr., an alternative rock band formed in 1983.

The original item has a pop design with a cow print on the front and a gorilla print on the back.

③Artist：Marilyn Manson

It was inspired by Marilyn Manson's album Antichrist Superstar, which is a unique presence in the current rock scene.

This is an album released in 1996. At that time, 3 face Christ design T-shirt was sold, and this T-shirt is an homage to it.

④Artist：La's

This is an homage to the tour T-shirt of the debut work "The La's" released in 1990, which is said to be a masterpiece of rock with a melodious masterpiece.

The song "There She Goes" is easy to listen to even for beginners, so please check it out.

⑤Artist (Painter)：Marcel Duchamp

This is an object work "The Newly Born Widow" made by Marcel Duchamp in 1920 with an homage and a back print.

In fact, it's not only taken from musicians, but also from artists!

⑥Artist (Painter)：Pearl Jam

This item is an homage to the T-shirt of Yield, the fifth album of the American rock band Pearl Jam.

Released in 1998, this masterpiece was a big hit and ranked the 2nd best in the US Billboard ranking at that time!

©️SAINT M×××××× × DENIM TEARS 2021SS T-Shirt Collection.

This is a collaboration series that is featured in 2021 SS and also featured in HYPEBEAST, etc., and has become a hot topic overseas.

Unlike collection items, this item has a pop and humorous collaboration.

①Video Games：Street Fighter

This is a T-shirt with a brand arrangement of Street Fighter. It was a very popular item.

The letters use the brand name "SAINT TEARS", and the D.T. on the left was for Denim Tears, and the S.M on the right was for ©️SAINT M××××××. Both Japanese and international fans were excited about this work.

②Brand：SEDITIONARIES

This item is an homage to a cowboy T-shirt from the well-known brand, Cedictionalism.

This item is also famous for being worn by Sid Vicious who is a member of the punk band "Sex Pistols". This item has a Christian feel, but this design has a punk look.

③Manga：Saint Seiya

This is an item that incorporates that manga based on Greek mythology that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.

It is titled as a saint MICHAEL, and you can feel the street feeling with pop.

This is one of the T-shirts that I personally found quite interesting.

Personally, I felt from ©SAINT M×××××× that it is a "grown up T-shirt" like a vintage T-shirt that changes the expression depending on how you wear and wash it.

Although it is still the second season for the brand, St. Michael will continue to produce interesting works. Please check it out!

The next 2021 -22AW collection will be delivered from July next month, so I can't wait to see what kind of items will be released next time.

When the release date of detailed information is announced, we will report it on our blog, so please look forward to it!!
