Far from re-editing classics with a simple twist, this alliance is presented as an exercise in pure hybridisation, where the rules of tailoring, function and form dissolve to give way to a new era of clothing. In this way, the Japanese designer proposes an experimental language in which each garment tells a different story and technique. This is the case, for example, of the Denim Jacket for women, which is constructed as an architectural collage and maintains a structure that subverts the traditional from within.

In the men’s pieces, the collection retains the hybrid spirit, but with restrained sobriety. The Denim x Matelassé Twill Reversible Blouson stands out, as it sums up the DNA of the collaboration with excellence: reversibility, cross textures, technical materials and that precise balance between military, urban and classic.

The genderless Denim Pants function as the visual manifesto of the collection through their oversized silhouette, a seven-pocket construction and a reversible belt that reaffirms the duality of the concept.
