Adding the Serene Sophistication of a Church

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

It's in Brooklyn, New York. The church name, "TAVERNACLE," is from a town where mode and grunge coexist within the streets. We've taken street style as our base and added the serene sophistication of a church, developing luxurious yet basic items.

──What were your points of focus for this season's lookbook shoot, and what should people pay attention to?

Based on the theme word "Brooklyn," we aimed for looks that would make it easier to clearly imagine the combination of clothes in the closet and the situation when worn, bridging the gap with real life.

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

We've made the sizing more relaxed for a comfortable fit. The balmacaan coat is longer, and we've incorporated new trends like wide-silhouette pants.

Additionally, we've expressed the gentle light and serene atmosphere of a church through the sheen of nylon and velvet, creating a different kind of luxury than last year.

──What is the key look (outfit) this season?

It's the coordination of wide pants and a long balmacaan coat. The turtleneck inner has buttons on the front, making it a design that can be arranged as an inner layer or for layering.

Focus on Military-Inspired Items and Colors

──What are the key items and key colors?

Key items include the 5-way mods coat, an M-65 combining linen and nylon, wide-silhouette Italian army pants, and an oiled coat made in khaki. Military-inspired items and colors are key.

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

It's the wool fabric used for the 5-way mods coat. We've twisted 90-count super 120's wool worsted yarn into a double thread and finished it with high-density melton processing. It combines the luster of fine count yarn with the softness of super 120's, and offers warmth that synthetic fibers cannot match.

──In one word, how would you describe "this season's mood"?

A marriage of serene atmosphere and street.

──What stimulates the creativity of the brand (designer)?

The history built by our predecessors, social movements, and even natural things like the global environment can all be sources of inspiration. Sometimes, inspiration comes from closer to everyday life. I believe that always keeping a sensitive antenna up and questioning small things leads to creativity.
