Size’ City （type3）は、都会の喧騒に溶け込みながらも、クリエイターの必需品をしっかり収める実用性を両立させたサイズ感。 レザーで立体的に仕立てた「Lips & Tongue」が、ロックにインスパイアされた重厚なエッジをプラス。 その舌の先には、勇気と守護の石「天然ターコイズ」を配置。 単なる装飾を超え、持ち主の意志を象徴する一点に仕上がる。 サテンの妖艶な光沢。スタッズの荒々しさ。 そして、ヴィンテージピースである着物が纏う歴史の重み。 相反する要素が共存する、圧倒的な存在感をその手に街へ出かけよう。 Title: écriture No. 004：”［The Rolling Ston××］” Material: Vintage Kimono (Silk) [Cow Hide,Stats,Silk,Natural Stone,Stencil ink, etc.] Condition: Deconstructed & Reconstructed
 —— The new City (Type 3) features a size that seamlessly blends into the hustle and bustle of the city while offering the practicality to securely hold all a creator’s essentials. The three-dimensional “Lips & Tongue” design, crafted from leather, adds a bold, rock-inspired edge. At the tip of the tongue sits a natural turquoise stone, a symbol of courage and protection. More than just decoration, it becomes a piece that symbolizes the owner’s will. The alluring sheen of satin. The ruggedness of studs. And the weight of history that vintage pieces carry. Take this overwhelming presence—where contrasting elements coexist—in your hands as you head out into the city. #Deconstruction #ArtisanalFashion #UpcycledKimono #OneOfOne #fashionblogger

One of a kind. ——— 職人は完成系の美を求めた。 着物とは周囲との調和や四季への同調を重んじ、職人たちが創り出した引き算の賜物である。 私は未完の美を追い求める。 着物は美しい。だからこそ崩す。 「脱構築」を前提に 破壊こそ最も純粋な創造であるとする。 独裁的な解釈を否定し、 文化財としての着物から表現の素材美として、デザイナー自身の感性による物語を吹き込む創造。 私の生み出した芸術品を貴方が完成させてくれることを祈っている。 #Deconstruction #ArtisanalFashion #UpcycledKimono #OneOfOne #AvantGardeFashion

テオとはvirgilnormal で出会った。優しい人には独特な余裕があって、人が気がつかずに流してしまう時間を彼らは特別に感じ、興奮を共有する。 いいものには最高のリアクションをくれ、またその逆も然り。その反応はとても気持ちがいいものだ。 さてREFは新しい形のバッグを発表する。要る不要関係なくものを詰め込めて、バッグ片手に遠くまで行ける。日本の伝統衣装の着物、一つ一つをより特別にする可能性を見つけた。 このバッグは本当にたくさんの人に声をかけられた。 タイトルは現段階で無題とする。 “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” の医療バッグをインスピレーションに、 印象的なPeaceと十字のデザイン、 気に入りの一文を書き連ねた。 ———— I met Theo at virgilnormal. Kind people possess a unique sense of ease; they perceive time others overlook as special and share that excitement. They give the best reactions to good things, and vice versa. That response feels incredibly satisfying. Now, REF is unveiling a new type of bag. You can pack it full regardless of necessity, and travel far with just this bag in hand. I discovered the potential to make each traditional Japanese kimono even more special. This bag has truly caught the attention of many people. The title remains untitled at this stage. Inspired by the medical bag from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” I incorporated the striking Peace and cross design, and jotted down my favorite lines. Thank you so much @thetheoshow !! #creative #designer #fashioninspo #fashionblogger #japaneseculture
