Creatures of the Wind x Sanyei Corp: Bridging Tradition and Mode at Daimaru Seisakujo 2 Gallery

From the Creatures of the Wind Fall/Winter 2013 collection, presented in New York on February 7, 2013. The "CREATURES OF THE WIND+SANYO" coat was unveiled, a collaboration with Sanyo Shokai, celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.
Shane and Chris, designers of "Creatures of the Wind," one of today's most talked-about brands.
"The late '60s is an era we really love. Finding sketches for inspiration was fun and easy. I was surprised how similar Sanyo Shokai's sketch archive was to our own drawings," says Chris. <br /><br />"It made sense to use Sanyo Shokai's archive, known for its outerwear expertise, to envision the 'Teddy Girl' look, wearing men's outerwear like armor. From there, we developed patterns and selected materials, gradually evolving into something modern," says Shane.
