Today, we'd like to introduce a styling featuring the new items from ZIGGY CHEN, available at both FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi) and FASCINATE_KYOTO (Kyoto, Kawaramachi).
An autumn-winter style centered around a coat with an earthy color gradient.
Just the day before this blog post, the star coat of this style sold out. However, within our collection for the season, this particular style features what can be described as a special maxi-length coat as its centerpiece.
For the inner layer, we've paired an oversized shirt that merges the season's theme graphic 'Cloud Crowd' with a graphic evocative of a decadent wall. The outfit is completed with a bottom in a Khaki Green shade, achieving an earthy gradient color style.
Model 181cm/58kg. Wearing Size：Coat/Size 44,Shirt/Size 46,Pants /Size 46.
Precisely Crafted Silhouettes through Subtle Pattern Work
The overcoat is a double-breasted piece made from a textured twill fabric in a two-tone color combination of khaki and light brown, which gives it a slightly robust and brushed feel.
Its maxi length provides a relaxed fit that allows for layering jackets underneath.
Despite the gentle color palette and the combination of drop shoulders and seemingly androgynous colors and designs, this coat stands out with its double-breasted front design, stand collar, and a shoulder line that is dropped yet not excessively wide, creating a coat with rugged appeal.
The sleeve design, common among this season's outerwear, boasts a slightly more fabric on the elbow side.
The addition of darts compactly controls the fabric while creating a slightly ballooned pattern, adding volume to the sleeves.
Despite being a longer coat, it achieves a well-balanced silhouette with emphasis on the sleeve area.
The current ZIGGY CHEN collection, themed with the coined term "VIGLUMSY," which combines "Vigorous" and "Clumsiness," embodies the concept of finding charm in imperfection.
Although the designs are relatively simple and center around one item's details, the intricate and subtle pattern work brings out powerful attire within their simplicity.
The stand collar design of the collar is such that it can be folded outward, creating a Chesterfield coat-like appearance.
This allows for variations based on the innerwear's collar, adding versatility.
Expressing the Theme of "Clumsiness" through Random Dart Designs
For the inner layer, a back-pleated hemp material shirt is chosen.
This season's outerwear collection mostly features straightforward designs and fabric switchings.
If you're looking to add impact to your styling, this all-over patterned shirt is recommended.
Combining this season's theme graphic "Cloud Crowd" print with a graphic that overlays a decadent wall-like design, along with hemp's rough and hard texture, exudes an Oriental atmosphere, even without explanation.
The sizing of this shirt is quite oversized compared to recent shirt releases.
The cuffs are equipped with adjusters, allowing for sleeve width adjustment similar to coat-like specifications.
The front buttons are larger, leaning more towards a shirt-jacket style of wear.
The dart design, randomly placed on the front placket and back, plays a role in adding a rounded silhouette to the shirt, although the back dart creates a slightly flared silhouette.
The different views of the silhouette from the front, back, left, and right sides evoke the theme of "clumsiness."

As for the shoes, the base is an ankle-length back-zip boot, combined with a Vibram tank sole made using Norwegian manufacturing method, known as the 796V_N.
This is a relatively new model that we aim to promote as GUIDI's new standard shoes.
Despite the back-zip boots' characteristic sleek and tight shaft, the contrast between the slim shaft and the voluminous sole makes for a beautiful shoe.
Its perfect volume suits autumn and winter cropped pants styles, so if you're looking for a versatile pair of boots for your autumn and winter outfits, be sure to check these out as well!
