This season's theme: "Fashion as free as Janis Joplin = FREEDOM"



Stoic craftsmanship and creativityA new proposal, "Used × SCHORL," that encapsulates the essential elements when discussing SCHORL.

The remade shirt, made from "Used Denim Shirt × Used French Army F2 Jacket," utilizes a pre-owned denim shirt of any brand or era, and the body of an F2 jacket of unknown year. The collar, placket, front and back yokes, pockets, and sleeves all retain their original designs from the used garments. The silhouette and sleeves are cut according to SCHORL's unique pattern, resulting in a tight finish. The zip pocket, originally on the chest of the front body, has been redesigned to sit at the waist. In the final step, over-dyeing unifies the different elements, seamlessly blending the disparate items.

The remade shorts, made from "Used Denim Pants × Used French Army F2 Jacket," combine pre-owned jeans of any brand or era with an F2 jacket used for the front and back bodies. The chest zip pockets, and waist flap and patch pockets are redesigned in the style of vintage cargo pants. The silhouette is re-cut according to SCHORL's pattern, resulting in a slim, straight silhouette.

Additionally, the remade shorts made from "Used Denim Pants × Sweat Pants" are designed with the image of sweatpants docked to the lower half of jeans, again of any brand or era. The silhouette is re-cut according to SCHORL's pattern, resulting in a slim, straight silhouette that appeals with a fresh image.

Furthermore, SCHORL has collaborated with "SYMPATHY OF SOUL," a brand that proposes jewelry and accessories with the theme of "resonance of travel, music, and soul." They offer layered necklaces using black tourmaline, SCHORL's signature stone, and turquoise and black spinel, which pair exceptionally well with gold.
