Today, we would like to introduce the details of the 23-24AW Collection from "ASKYY" available at FASCINATE KYOTO!
About the brand "ASKYY" - 23AW development -
Currently, "ASKYY" is available at FASCINATE KYOTO and has already reached its sixth year since its establishment.
We have been carrying this brand since its debut, and I, Takashima, personally have a close relationship with the designer.
In recent years, ASKYY has gained popularity among celebrities and musicians, including Kazutoshi Sakurai from Mr.Children band, and its recognition has been steadily increasing, attracting a growing number of devoted fans. Additionally, the brand's limited distribution in domestic stores adds to its distinctiveness.
For those who may not be familiar with the brand, let me provide a brief explanation of ASKYY.
[ASKYY Brand Philosophy]
We pursue Japan's unique minimalism, which includes expressions like "WABI-SABI" and "UMAMI," words that are challenging to describe but represent Japan's distinctive culture.
We believe that simplicity combined with traditional and unassuming elements embodies the true essence of minimalism.
ASKYY seeks to create functional and rational pieces, proposing a new generation of "Japanese black."
◆Features of ASKYY Clothing◆
One of the primary features of ASKYY garments is the complexity of layers and detachable gimmicks, all carefully designed for the wearer's convenience.
While the brand is committed to using only Japanese-made materials, it also adds a unique touch of decadence, such as leaving raw edges or applying an aging wash to the fabric.
Overall, ASKYY adopts a mode-like taste predominantly centered around black.
If you are someone who appreciates this mode aesthetic, ASKYY is a brand we highly recommend. You can also find reference to the currently available items in stock.
Now, onto the main topic: the 23-24AW collection from ASKYY.
This season's collection consists of two parts:
[23-24AW Collection Composition]
1. Archive Collection (Presented at Paris Collection)
2. New Collection
In January of this year, the Paris exhibition showcased the "Archive Collection" for the first time.
This collection features past acclaimed works, refreshed with new fabrics, becoming a permanent collection that embodies the strong philosophy of "This is ASKYY."
The collection includes well-known masterpieces such as Napoleon coats, Y-lapel jackets, and Atelier pants.
Fans of the brand will be thrilled to see these items receiving updates in the "Archive Collection."
However, please note that the availability of these archive items may vary between stores, including direct outlets.
There may be items that are not available for sale, so it will be a delightful surprise to see what is released!
We, too, have prepared some special items, so we hope you look forward to their announcement around "mid-August."
Although we can only share the Archive Collection's LOOK at this point due to brand information restrictions, we will sequentially provide updates on the fall-winter collection, so please look forward to it.
Despite the ongoing hot weather, we hope you also pay attention to ASKYY's autumn-winter lineup.
Please be aware that the brand's information disclosure is restricted at this stage, so we can only introduce the Archive Collection.
As soon as we can unveil the fall-winter collection, we will provide further updates.
