Designer Jinju Chida Explains the New Season

—What is the theme/concept for the 2014-15 Autumn/Winter collection?

This season's theme is "Vintage Classic." Inspired by "light and shadow," "the public and private spheres," and "chaos," it expresses the turbulent social climate where new things are constantly born and rapid development occurs, yet simultaneously, its backlash reveals a gradually exposed, rougher side. Continuing from Spring/Summer 2014, we've employed patchwork, silhouettes, materials, and stitching that combine contrasting or disparate tastes and materials, showcasing a masterful balance in design. We've also utilized calculated processing techniques, such as over-dyeing, bio-processing, and puckering.

—What were the key points and aspects you wanted to highlight in this season's look shoot?

The 2014-15 Autumn/Winter theme of "light and shadow" is expressed through the lighting.

—What are the differences in styling, silhouette, and color compared to last year's Autumn/Winter collection?

Overall, we've varied the texture of basic items through materials and post-processing. The silhouettes are voluminous, with a focus on dark colors like black, gray, navy, and khaki.

—What is the key look (coordination) this season?

A mod coat with a unique tie-dye finish, paired with a rabbit fur liner. By intentionally wearing the liner side out on a military item and mixing it with luxurious fur, we propose a styling that retains SAGE DE CRET's essence while adding an edge.



—What are the key items and key colors?


The key item is the mod coat with rabbit fur. The key colors are dark shades such as black, gray, navy, and khaki.

—What "material" did you focus on this season?

It's the "wool camouflage jacquard." We've created texture by applying a fulling process to the fabric itself.
