Just 10 days ago, Yusuke Takahashi started an innovative privatization ceremony for CFCL. At the moment, it is a female-care service that orders customers a selected silhouette with a dozen or so size and then adapters the color combinations. But the brand gave 50 orders directly from the gate.
“It was nervous on the floor,” the designer allowed. “Since we do everything ourselves, we have the freedom to make pieces on demand, but it is time to take. Programming alone takes 10 days.”
This 100-tukra can be a larger innings than the minimum, but it also shows a marine change of how customers want to be related to fashion. As a result, the CFCL factory is in extension mode.
“People really like to play with color,” Takahashi noted during a showroom trip for the spring menwear collection, which is not yet available for adaptation, especially offered a more mature offer regarding the office-appointed dress.
By that end, the designer showed something that mixes the state-of-the-art approach of CFCL for weaving with the Japanese artisan tradition, especially in a brown and naval tie-dai inspired by Shibori. The Vives added a straight cut to the navy and black, or gray and white and added gray and white to the trousers with an ease of an elastic waist. The summer open wave shirts in cotton and recycled polyester had a dry hand and diverse transparency in the front and back; A mixture based on Japanese paper – and recycled polyester had a crisp effect that still felt soft for the touch.
Between a classic lineup in black, navy and khaki, light pink and blue colors changed a notch above, to make a bid and more fickle by CFCL, if only by degree. The designer said, “I want Japanese men to be a little loose.” Only time will tell whether the Japanese office culture – the creative class on one side – will accept shorts on men of a certain age and professional profile. But the plays on the texture were very sophisticated and more elegant than the jumpsuit workwear. Apparently, Takahashi is on something: he is about to open his eighth store in Japan, at Tokyo’s new Taknaawa Gateway Station, as well as the first standalone store outside Japan in Korea. Sometimes, change holds in inch, not miles.
