DESCRIPTION
D.HYGEN [SADDAM TEISSY] 2021-22 Autumn Winter Collection.

・This is an object project collaboration with the leather brand "T.A.S", based on the concept "PULSATION" and "hint of life", materializing the regeneration of "death" to "life"

・The horn, a by-product of the wild Japanese deer (The hunting grounds are in the Tanba region.) hunted by the extermination of animal damage, is treated in a primitive way without using chemicals, and the horn is wrapped in deerskin and decorated with silver. In Japan, deer and wild boars are exterminated to protect the fields from crop damage caused by deer, which have increased in number, and the meat has become popular as a dish. However, the skull and horns of a deer killed by a unilateral "extermination" on the human side were discarded without being reused, the designer thought about this "life regeneration project" and spoke to Ando, a designer of T.A.S. and went to a hunter who was actually hunting, explained this project and received a skull. The deer antlers that are no longer useful and are disposed of are rewrapped in deerskin, decorated with silver, and "reincarnation" as accessories. Its vividly dignified appearance was given "death" as an art piece that was breathed into life again from "Resurrection = Life".
