Next season adds a post-punk edge

CoSTUME NATIONAL is a fashion brand based in Italy. Its minimal yet chic designs captivate many celebrities and fashionistas. The 2013 Spring/Summer collection, unveiled in Milan last year, excited the audience with a fresh image that, while retaining the CoSTUME NATIONAL spirit, incorporated a post-punk sensibility.

The "2013SS Pre-Exhibition" showcases the Spring/Summer collection before anyone else. Furthermore, items such as T-shirts and hoodies from "C'N'C CoSTUME NATIONAL," a line centered on street fashion popular among the youth and not yet launched in Japan, will also be available.

For women's, the iconic "PARGI" bag debuts in two Japan-exclusive colors

In addition to the men's line, the women's collection will feature the pre-release of two Japan-exclusive colors for the iconic "PARGI" bag. These include a glossy pastel pink and a mint green that adds an accent to any outfit.

This "PARGI" bag, created to commemorate the opening of the CoSTUME NATIONAL Aoyama Complex in September 2011, uses old leather and is laser-cut to create a minimal, linear design. The interior is divided into three compartments and includes an inner pocket for a mobile phone and cards, as well as a zip closure, combining functionality with style. Following last year's white, these Japan-exclusive colors bring the total to three, each adding a touch of subtle elegance and femininity to the bag.

This CoSTUME NATIONAL event offers enjoyment not only for men but for women as well. We encourage you to check out the latest items.
