PHOTOCOPIEU "BELTED TOP(AILE)

Regular price $317.00

A breathable sleeveless top with large openings at the chest and armholes.
A large river flows next to the factory, and the water is drawn in to make the fabric.
A lame yarn with a weft that looks like the reflection of the sparkling water surface on a simple cotton soccer material.

I felt that nature and life were so closely connected that I was alive.
We recommend pairing it with pants made of the same material or layering it with a cut-and-sew dress.

[STORY]
The image of a Japanese material is a cotton material woven with hard, thick plain weave threads.
Far from being supple, the stiff and durable fabric is highly breathable and moisture-absorbing, and there are almost no such materials available in Europe.
It's the opposite of Japan, where it's dry and you don't want the air to escape.
Nishiwaki is a production area that has the image of producing many fabrics unique to Japan.
Nowadays, there are a variety of threads and looms available, so it's not just the image of the past, but I wanted to try cooking with the European-style fabric, which is perfect for the Japanese summer.
A large river flows through the factory in Nishiwaki, and the water is drawn in to make the fabric.
I felt a real sense of being alive and connected to nature.
It looks like the sparkling water surface is reflected on the simple cotton soccer material.

ABOUT
Empathizing with the attitude of the flexible and strong women I met in Paris,
Photocopy clothing was born that coexists with a feminine silhouette and a strong appearance.
While the superficial decorations have been neatly removed, the transition lines created by the warmth of the hands and the organic form that reveals and hides the female body create a passionate feeling in both the wearer and the viewer.
Everyday wear that blends into daily life with an impressive silhouette and is comfortable to wear will gradually become a necessary tool for life that embodies one's individuality.
