HOUYHNHNM's has featured a variety of brands, but what I feel particularly sympathetic to are brands that are like the designers themselves, in other words, brands that are very personal.
There is a saying that "what is created with very personal motives can end up reaching a large number of people," and I agree with it very much.
Therefore, , theRiprapThe brand is "HIROTO NISHINO". The clothes created by designer Hiroto Nishino are extremely personal, which is why the warmth of the brand strikes one's heart.
The look visuals presented in this issue of the magazine , feature Mr. Nishino's father-in-law as the model.
Where have you seen this sitting before? If you think you have, you are a significant riprap or huinam fan.
This is because, at the debut of " Riprap " in 2016,I was interviewed in HOUYHNHNM.But even when theMr. Nishino's father-in-law is dressing him..
The theme of this year's event is "RIPRAPPING. This word means "the act of piling up stones," and includes the accumulation of experience and the passage of time.
In other words, life , in other words, is rip-roaring.
As for the look visuals, the indigenous colors that are oriental, such as hydrangea, young grass, and yellow checks, are incorporated into handmade tailored suits, open silhouette shirts, and tough workwear.
This is a down-to-earth collection, largely distanced from the place where fashion = fads. By the way, Mr. Nishino's father-in-law looks great , doesn't he?
