{{widget type="Fascinate\\Blog\\Block\\Widget\\TableOfContents"}}

Today, different from the usual styling blog, I will introduce my personal order this season and wear it like this! I will write about the style that I decided on and the charm of each item.

The contents are {{widget type="Magento\\Catalog\\Block\\Category\\Widget\\Link" anchor_text="JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE" title="JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE" template="category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/513"}} which was newly developed from last autumn/winter season and the item of JAN-JAN’s second line {{widget type="Magento\\Catalog\\Block\\Category\\Widget\\Link" anchor_text="O project" title="O project" template="category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/482"}}.

Although the place of production is different, both brands are designed by the same designer JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE, so compatibility is outstanding.

I would like you to check them together because you can make up for the elements that are not in each of them, but since both of them have only been available for a short time, I would like to explain what kind of brand JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE is.

"It becomes loose and suitable again." Lovely dress with an ennui expression.

Some people may not be familiar with the brand "JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE" itself, but in fact, it is handled fairly well in Japan.

When I first became interested in clothes and fashion, there were many people who were charismatic by the designers themselves called star designers, and I was excited to meet them in person someday.

Recently, perhaps because the trend of fashion itself has been declining, the designer himself that the number of brands with distinctive characters had decreased, and suddenly I saw a designer named "JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE".

One of the charms of his creation is his way of living, his values, and his worldview, which he hears through his acquaintances as if it were a rumor, and I feel that he has attracted me.

Based in Antwerp, Belgium, he creates clothing that interprets the traditional costumes of all time and countries and sublimates them into modern clothing.

In the European culture where clothes are the basis, he proposes clothes from a slightly different viewpoint from the Western concept of clothes by coming into contact with various cultures. The balance and style of his clothes are very unique.

However, there are many people who feel that clothes with strong ethnic elements and high originality are eccentric and have strong Aku.

I have always liked unique styles, but because I can wear my favorite clothes on a regular basis, whether on or off, it is hard to wear clothes that are too assertive every day.

I personally ordered these two items this season based on the idea that I want to make one style that is easy and has just the right roughness while maintaining individuality.

I ordered his items from the 20-21 AW collection and it was hard for him to wear them himself in a showroom in Paris at that time! When I saw her wearing a cotton padding vest that made me think at a glance, "I happened to see this on my face today, so I came here", I saw her wearing it smoothly.

I wanted to be a man who could wear difficult clothes as a part of my lifestyle, so in a way, I may have come up with this kind of coordination.

Model 174cm/ 52kg. Wearing Size：Hoodie/Size M,Pants/Size S,Shoes/Size 41.

“A product that makes you feel the meaning of a good thing, ” he says.

First, tops.

The top is the second line of JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE, and I personally ordered a hoody with hanging knitting from O object which is produced in Japan.

JAN-JAN was involved in the O project until the sample was created, but since the subsequent production was done in Japan, it is relatively inexpensive compared to the mainline, and because it is separate from the mainline, many items such as designs and materials are developed that are easy to use daily.

However, the reason why it is a sweat hoodie is that recently I tend to put my hands on clothes with strong scents, so I wanted a rough item that can be used for going out "to that extent".

It may be a bit difficult to say, but a sweat hoodie is a typical item of "suitable clothes" so many people often wear it as pajamas.

Because it is tough, you can wash it every day without worrying about it, and it can be used not only as a style but also as an appropriate treatment.

From an objective point of view, people wearing sweat hoody rarely get the impression that they are popular ・・・

Going back to the main point, this hoody uses sweats knitted with a traditional loopwheel machine.

To be honest, I think there are many people who don't like hanging knitting.

As the name suggests, the suspending knit is a sweat fabric woven only with the weight of the thread, using gravity to hang the fabric.

Surprisingly, it is a fabric with very low production efficiency that can be knitted only 1 m per hour.

There is a high-speed machine now, and the fabric can be made dozens of times faster with a high-speed machine, but this sweat is made with an old loopwheel.

Why do you bother to use an old model with poor production efficiency without using a high-speed machine?

It is said that there is a difference in the stress to the fabric due to the treatment of the knitted fabric and the movement of the needle when knitting.

The high-speed machine handles the knitted fabric in the form of a roll, so there are tension and load on the fabric at that time, but the old type of looper keeps the knitted fabric on the ground as it is, so there is no stress on the knitted fabric.

Because of this, it is finished with a soft and fluffy fabric that contains air, so it has a film thickness and a light and fluffy fabric with a sense of security.

In addition, compared to high-speed machines, there is no stress when knitting, so it is also durable and resistant to washing and external loads.

The pullover hoodie that has been incorporated into the style this time uses such a sling knit sweat fabric luxuriously and has a wide fit design that is quite wide like other O project products.

By tightening the drawcord at the hem, you can create a drape by gathering the wide fabric and adjust the silhouette according to your preference.

The beautiful drape created by squeezing the drawcord is a design that takes advantage of the wonderful flexibility of this fabric.

There is a point on both sides where you can pull out the drawcord like a slit, so it is fun that there is a space where you can enjoy freely arranging as per the concept such as gathering only on the back.

The charcoal-like color named SUMI and the calm color that has faded like a vintage sweat is attractive.

This is an item that is perfect as a subtraction item for a style with an unnuisance expression that will not look offensive no matter who comes.

"Hakama" is a traditional Japanese costume expressed in the framework of Western clothing.

For the pants, from the mainline JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE, I have selected TROUSERS # 62 which is a standard item this spring and summer season.

These pants, which are basically available in the spring and summer seasons, are based on basic 5-pocket pants with 4 large tucks taken up to the hem and is an item that incorporates the traditional Japanese "hakama" into the clothes. If you are going to wear JAN-JAN, you will definitely want to have these pants.

Until a little while ago, I was fond of wearing clothes of Yohji Yamamoto, and the same brand also developed standard popular pants called Hakama pants, but in fact, it was a design that can be said to be a straight ball with only the waist part changed to the specification of clothes by sampling Hakama almost as it is.

Because of this, the volume is large, and the pants are so well-balanced that it is difficult to mix with other brands, and the pants are so strong that it is cosplay. However, according to the interpretation of JAN-JAN, based on the fact that they are only clothes, the pants are sublimated into a very well-balanced design that has the duality of Japanese and Western styles expressing hakama.

Of course, it has an avant-garde design, but I think the attractive part of this pants is that it has a mature look.

The front tucks are decorated with small stitches from the waist to the hem so that the width of the tucks does not change while the fabric moves dynamically.

In terms of ease of movement, it has a silhouette that spreads around the waist a little like teeth, and since the amount of tucks is taken firmly, there is no stress at all, and it has a sense of openness.

This item is made of plain-woven fabric woven with fine count thread of cotton and ramie.

Linen and cotton have a strong natural image, but by weaving into fine count and delicate fabric, it has a very delicate and beautiful expression.

The combination of the deep purplish color named INK and the matte luster of Lamy makes this pair of pants very sexy.

In fact, in this style, I really want to wear it with sandals or slip-on in a "rough" or "casual" atmosphere, but the sandals have not arrived yet, so in this blog, I wear it with EMATYTE sneakers, but this looks like a street style with a mixture of different cultures, which is nice!

It would be a lie to say that clothes with a modified design can be worn by anyone, but if you are interested in this article, I would be happy if you could start with items that are easy to incorporate such as a hoody.
