Director Takayuki Oshima proposes

Clothes you want to wear in February: Outerwear

ITEM STORY

I thought it would be a good idea to give each item the name of an actual mountain or river in France, so they would become attached to it.

For example, this light coat is called “Croche.” The name originates from the French Alps "Aiguille de la Croche". It is not directly related to function or design. However, rather than just calling it by its product number, we want our staff and customers to feel attached to it as a single name. With this in mind, I decided to give each item a name. Even though we can feel the footsteps of spring, there is still a chilly feeling under the Japanese sky. Introducing 4 pieces that you'll want to wear every day.

COLLECTION-1

We valued the sense of the seasons、Outerwear that does not have a seasonal feel

Croche(Cloche)

We created it with the intention of responding as much as possible to Japan's climate, which is often referred to as "abnormal weather." While valuing the sense of the seasons, I am conscious of clothes that are timeless. The design follows the details of a mod coat. I want you to wear it with all the zips closed. Made of functional material that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, it can be used in 3 seasons.

COLLECTION-2

The idea of using a shirt as an outerwear

Garonne(Garonne)

This is a piece I made with the intention of making it a haori shirt that can also be used as an outer layer. If a jacket is a little stiff, but a T-shirt...I aim to get it just right by pairing it with a cut-and-sew or knit layer as an inner layer. It looks relaxed, yet neat. That's the style. The seersucker-like feel of the wool and linen blend is also comfortable.

COLLECTION-3

Imagine a spring resort

Arpille(Alpilles)

The collection is inspired by this season's theme, ``Summer Paradise,'' and is inspired by yacht wear. This blouson made of nylon material has a slightly nostalgic feel and is accented with a double collar.

BLOUSON

COLLECTION-4

A suit that makes the most of its beautiful luster.

Seine II(Seine 2)

Among Loro Piana's suits, the suits are made from 365 fabric, which is said to be comfortable to wear all year round, and exudes an elegant luster. It has a sturdy silhouette with thin shoulder pads, so please wear it just the right size.
