Screening of Isetan Exclusive Season Movie Planned
The autumn/winter season from Blackbarrett injects youthful energy into traditional, authentic autumn and winter clothing, expressed through Neil Barrett's unique filter. A key feature is the collection's focus on knitwear, with playful elements incorporated through double-faced organic jacquard and felt blocking. Furthermore, the season's signature items include reversible outerwear and hybrid pieces with detachable parts, offering two-way wearability.
Focus on Elegant Ski Styles and Graphics
Inspired by the lines emerging from traditional quilting techniques used in vintage ski wear, knitwear, trousers, and outerwear, the collection elegantly incorporates shades of black throughout. Bold vertical and horizontal graphic patterns are used effectively, creating a modern atmosphere while remaining easy to wear.
Patterns inspired by the stitches forming 'V' and 'W' shapes, vividly depicting mountain ranges in cobalt blue found on vintage ski and alpine wear, are rendered in ink colors and black. The collection adds a modern twist by overlaying contemporary graphics onto authentic 70s ski jackets.
Mountain-shaped graphics provide a bold surprise to the silhouette of three-color cut-and-sew pieces, combined with Fair Isle knit patterns, these are the season's key items expressing the Blackbarrett DNA.
Also Available on Isetan Online Store
Additionally, Swiss alpine camouflage patterns are updated with a modern touch by simply bonding the material. For urban and contemporary items, military-inspired styling is added. The mesh knit top is a highlight, styled as an inner layer for military outerwear or formal sets.
Oversized sweaters and items with bold skull prints incorporate 3D mesh materials and abstract camouflage patterns.
To coincide with this promotion, Blackbarrett will be available on the Isetan Online Store (http://isetan.mistore.jp/onlinestore/men/index.html) for a limited time from August 12th (Wednesday) until the end of September. Be sure to check it out.
