College Wear Refined for Adults

──What was the theme/concept for the 2015-16 Autumn/Winter collection?

This season's theme is 'Urban Military' and 'High-Life Student.' It's an attempt to blend military details into urban life. We've refined college wear, originally for students, for adults with SLOWGUN's signature high-spec and sophisticated approach, and styled it as everyday wear.

──What were the key points you focused on for this season's lookbook shoot, and what should people pay attention to?

We asked the models to understand the two styles, 'military' and 'student,' and strived to express everything from youthful innocence to sternness in their expressions and hairstyles.

──How does this season differ from last autumn/winter's collection in terms of styling, silhouette, and color?

This season has a cleaner image. While acknowledging the trend for oversized fits, we've also focused on sizing that's just right plus 2-3 centimeters for those in their upper 30s.

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

It's the trench coat look. With the substantial liner attached, it becomes a very casual and stylish trench coat. When the liner is removed, it can be worn over tailoring yet the cutting makes it appear sleek and slim.

Autumn/Winter Expressed in Refined Fabrics with Rich Texture

──What are the key items and key colors?

The key colors are olive khaki and navy, symbolizing trench coats and military styles.

──What materials did you focus on this season?

Burberry cloth made from ultra-high-density indigo, which allows for changes in texture. The refined fabrics with a rich texture are a fresh take.

──Please describe this season's mood in one word.

High-end materials and crushed denim.

──What inspires the brand's (designer's) creativity?

Always vintage clothing. Things found at flea markets.
