A New Interpretation of Glen Check: Harmony of Classic and Casual
Glen Check is well-known as a traditional suit fabric.
This distinctive pattern has long been associated with the business scene and is often seen as a symbol of formality, tradition, and sophistication.
As time has progressed, the design has evolved, incorporating new perspectives and essences into classic elements, giving birth to new styles and trends.
An example of this is the Glen Check flight jacket-style blouson and 2-pleat baggy pants that we are introducing.
The classic charm of Glen Check and the casual essence of the blouson and baggy pants complement each other perfectly, creating a new worldview.

Drawing Inspiration from 1980s Flight Jackets with KLASICA's Unique Essence
Firstly, let's focus on the Glen Check flight jacket-style blouson.
This blouson combines a casual design with the formal image of Glen Check, creating an attractive contrast.
The design is based on flight jackets from the 1980s, preserving the raw, seasoned appearance that was characteristic of that era.
Despite being a timeless classic, it incorporates KLASICA's unique essence.
While staying true to the classic design, it skillfully incorporates modern technology and sensibilities.
Such items enable us to appreciate both the beauty of the past and the present simultaneously.
GOSSE's Philosophy: Exploring KAWAMURA's Innovative Design Theory
Designer Kawamura's most impressive work, the 2-pleat baggy pants from GOSSE, embodies his philosophy of 「speaking through silhouette alone」.
This pair of pants, stripped down to the essentials, reveals a high level of completion as a fashion item.
With no excessive adornments or assertive components, it relies on subtleties in cutting, pleats, and gathers to create a natural volume and a beautiful silhouette.
The unique, rounded silhouette of these pants suggests that they are imbued with deeper philosophical and thoughtful considerations beyond being mere fashion items.
This ensemble radiates a presence as an amalgamation of classic elements and contemporary fashion sensibilities.
Particularly, the incorporation of the traditional element of Glen Check beautifully illustrates the fusion of the charms of a bygone era and modern refined design sensibilities.
These items possess not only the value of fashion, but also embody the philosophy and vision of designer Kawamura.
Their beauty and functionality will appeal not only to fashion enthusiasts but also to anyone interested in design and art.
