Expressing rhythm & phrases through materials and color.

──What is the theme/concept for the 2013-14 Autumn/Winter collection?

This season's theme is "RAPTURE." We express rhythm through various patterns and double-weave fabrics, and imagine uplifting phrases with "red," which signifies activity and passion. We propose melodic, beat-driven clothing.

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

It's a coordination typical of DIET BUTCHER SLIM SKIN, centered around the Chesterfield coat, an item symbolizing this season's collection, made from original double-weave check gradation needle-processed fabric. (Shown bottom right).

Pop-up shop opens August 10th (Sat) at MIDWEST Osaka HERBIS.

──What are the key items and key colors?

The key items include cowhide rider's jackets with special aging treatment, designed to change and develop character with wear. Also, a substantial coat combining original tweed herringbone fabric in custom colors with lamb leather. And a knit with angora/nylon yarn, where the collar, front body, and right sleeve are one color, while the back body and left sleeve are a different color in the same tone.
The key colors are deep red, blue, and black. We've particularly used red extensively, signifying activity and passion.

──What "materials" were you particular about this season?

The original tweed herringbone fabric in custom colors used in the key items above, and the original double-weave check gradation needle-processed fabric used in the key look. We express musical rhythm and beats through the fabric patterns.

──What is the rewarding aspect of being a designer?


I distill all the culture—music, art, etc.—that exists within me through my own filter and apply it to each season. The reward is when people all over the world buy and wear the clothes I create.

──A message to your fans.


This season strongly expresses musical elements, and it's a collection where you can particularly feel the essence of DIET BUTCHER SLIM SKIN, so please come and see it.
A pop-up shop will open on August 10th (Sat) within the MIDWEST Osaka HERBIS store. It will be a space where you can experience the brand's worldview, so please look forward to it.
