Today, we have the pleasure of introducing the new 2023-24AW collection from ink available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi store).
About the concept of ink
Ink started its activities in the Autumn & Winter 2005.
The company dismantles military wear, vintage denim, workwear, and other items picked up by the company from both Japan and overseas, and freely reconstructs the materials it encounters each time.
Because materials are first selected first and then reconstructed, no two pieces are ever the same.
The designer creates everything from design, material procurement, pattern making, dismantling, and cutting by themselves, so even if the items have the same shape, their conditions and texture of the materials differ, resulting in a unique expression for each piece.
ink
Even if it is simply labeled "ink," the color is unknown until the can is opened.
The color becomes special when it reaches the customer's hands.
Ink products are designed to be worn by customers for many years with affection.
Crack Band Long Sleeve T-Shirt
A popular series that reconstructs various used band T-shirts with their unique interpretation.
The distinct feature is the cracked switch design, which has become a staple, and starting from the 23AW, the back is also plain like the front.
You can enjoy the unique vintage impression.
Three different bands are randomly combined, resulting in each piece being one of a kind.
This item is recommended for those who love unique pieces that stand out from others.
US Navy Trench Vest
A vest that deconstructs and reconstructs a 1960s US Navy trench coat.
It comes in a free size with adjustable buckles, allowing for size adjustments with one side open.
This versatile vest can be worn over a cut-sewn or add a touch of accent to your styling.
It offers the flexibility to experiment with various coordinates as an inner layer under outerwear.
Denim Cargo Pants
Denim pants recreated from disassembled US-made denim jackets, with a playful design characteristic of ink.
The jacket's pockets are reimagined as cargo pockets, incorporating the original denim jacket's seams and details into the design.
The coloring varies by section, resulting in a finished product that captures the faded look of the original denim.
Antique M65 Pants
These pants sample the M65 pants using antique sheets.
The faded black color achieved through post-production sulfurization gives a vintage touch.
Moreover, the left side pocket and the back left pocket are adorned with safety pin embroideries, creating an appearance as if they are actually fastened with safety pins.
The items we introduced today are scheduled to be available from mid-August to mid-September.
Please keep an eye out for them while referring to this information.
