Today we would like to introduce a brand new coordination using the first knit collection from NOUSAN, which is currently available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi store).
The Aesthetics of Handmade Born from the Designer's Passion
NOUSAN is known for the exquisite designs and handmade craftsmanship of designer Tsukasa Emori.
The brand has continued to release collections since the 2021 SS (Spring/Summer) that not only showcase sophistication in design but also pursue silhouette and comfort through processes such as dyeing and sewing performed by the designer's own hands.
The creations are filled with warmth and carry a nostalgic air, reminiscent of a bygone era, each piece carefully crafted in a quiet studio.
Moreover, they are created drawing inspiration from daily life, art, photography, films, and music.
With a focus on the texture and atmosphere of carefully selected domestic and international fabrics, NOUSAN emphasizes comfort and beautiful cutting, proposing simple pieces that can be worn for a long time.
The 23-24AW collection aims for improvement in quality and design, shifting from traditional intuitive methods of creation to introducing objective evaluations through quantification and verbalization, reevaluating the approach to craftsmanship.
As the brand enters its third year, it is positioned as a crucial time for contemplating future development.
Along with the increase in the number of items, various transformations have been attempted in the taste, details, color, and material development of the items.
Model 181cm/58kg. Wearing size：coat/size M, cardigan/size L, shirt/size M, pants/size L.
Classic Design and the Warmth of Handcraft
The 'Fred' raglan coat design, introduced in the 22AW collection, has been updated from last year's classic houndstooth material to a heavy dobby cotton this season, a fabric once used in 1930s hunting jackets.
This material has a vintage feel and brings a substantial texture that adds strength and presence to the design.
In terms of details, the front has been changed to a fly front, and by fastening the belt, it achieves a more slender and clean, beautiful silhouette.
Additionally, the newly introduced crew neck cardigan is characterized by its hand-stitched detailing.
The stitching from the neck to the front is sewn one stitch at a time by the designer's own hands, bringing a unique charm to the cardigan through this delicate handcraft.
The designer's painstaking work adds warmth to the sophisticated design.
Moreover, the pocket section also serves as a design highlight.
Slash pockets that do not show the sewing on the outside have been adopted, offering a detail that is simple yet rich in character.
This crew neck cardigan is made from high-quality wool, not only providing high thermal insulation but also excellent moisture absorption.
Therefore, in cold seasons, it serves as outerwear, offering a warm and comfortable haven and providing a pleasant wearing experience against the skin.
High-Quality Compressed Wool and Exquisite Silhouette
The 'villa' wide easy pants from NOUSAN are a popular staple model that has been continued from the 2nd season.
In this creation, they use a slightly thicker compressed wool material, which enhances its thermal insulation properties.
The silhouette and comfort are well-regarded, and while it has been a part of every season's lineup, this season, it has been updated to a wide straight silhouette as a shop exclusive.
When tucked in, the drawcord, made from the same fabric, provides a subtle accent to the simple black pants.
