Imagining the Future to Live in the Present

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

Imagination nurtures people. Instead of thinking about the present to live in the present, we imagine the future to live in the present. The more vividly we imagine the future, the more strength and conviction our actions today will have. At Enharmonic TAVERN, we view this future as "~five years from now," and by imagining a bright future for ourselves, society, and the environment, we create the "present."

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

This was our first outdoor shoot. We expressed "new journey = a new departure for men" towards five years from now.

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

This season, we've increased the sizing. We've incorporated more ease to ensure comfort, but we've focused on a silhouette that appears sleek when worn.

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

It's a dress-down style that pairs classic items like Chester coats and Balmacaan coats with easy pants that have elastic at the hem.

A Cashmere Knit That Envelops You in Unspeakable Happiness

—What are the key items and key colors?

It's the Chester coat, available in both single and double-breasted versions. This season, we focused on long-length coats. While the appearance is simple for longevity, the internal construction is quite elaborate. We express the Enharmonic TAVERN aesthetic through the switching of linings and the use of velvet tape.

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

It's a 100% cashmere V-neck knit. We used cashmere yarn from BOTTO POALA in Italy, offering a beautiful range of colors characteristic of Italian yarns. Wearing it envelops you in an indescribable sense of happiness.

—What are you paying attention to in the current fashion scene – people, things, or concepts?

Basic items and basic styles are gaining attention, and I believe this trend will continue to grow. In a way, individuals' personal characteristics will become more apparent. When individuality is honed within a basic framework, the range of future styles will broaden, and I look forward to the emergence of new styles.
