PHOTOCOPIEU "SWEAT T-SHIRT / TEDDY / IVORY"
A sweat T-shirt with gathered switching details.
It uses a brushed-back fabric woven with a new high-performance knitting machine, the exact opposite of loopwheel knitting.
This new machine allows for more detailed adjustments, creating a material that is substantial yet light and smooth.
It is usually not possible to use such fine yarn on the surface compared to the thickness of the backing yarn, and this material is a feat only possible with a knitting machine that is one of a kind in Wakayama.
While seemingly ordinary on the surface, this progressive fabric stands out, and this sweat T-shirt is one expression of the desire to wear this fluffy yet smooth, cotton-like material daily.
Despite its oversized silhouette, the chest switching has an effect that resonates with the body line, creating an impression of soft curves.
The embroidered "Pt" is a characteristic of this series.

ABOUT
For 10 years, I continued to create clothes while contemplating the way women live in Tokyo and Paris, and PHOTOCOPIEU is the answer.
Identity is a quiet revolution.
While not consciously a feminist, I have felt stress about the challenges my close female friends face in balancing work and family, and the structure of society, and wondered if there wasn't a more comfortable way to live.
All the experiences of my 10 years in work and private life are packed into PHOTOCOPIEU wear.
I used my accumulated creative power to make daily life more comfortable, rather than for momentary things like shows or photos.
To discover a new self while blending into daily life.
PHOTOCOPIEU wear was born from empathy for the flexible and strong stance of the women I met in Paris, combining feminine silhouettes with a strong presence.
While boldly eliminating superficial embellishments, the switching lines created by the warmth of human hands,
The organic forms that reveal and conceal the female body ignite emotions in both the wearer and the observer.
Everyday wear that blends into daily life yet has an impressive silhouette and pursues comfort,
will gradually become an essential tool for life, embodying one's individuality.
