ÉDIFICE & IÉNA
Christmas Collaboration with Illustrator Noritake
To celebrate the Christmas season, popular select shops ÉDIFICE and IÉNA will launch a collaborative project with illustrator Noritake from Saturday, November 23rd to Wednesday, December 25th. Under the theme "Blanc Étoile," meaning "white star," Noritake will oversee not only special item development but also the shop's overall mood through window displays and shopping bag designs.

Collaborative Items to Celebrate Christmas
Noritake, an illustrator popular across various fields including advertising, magazines, and fashion, is known for his simple monochrome drawings. This season, he has produced the entire Christmas campaign for ÉDIFICE and IÉNA.
To coincide with this project, special Christmas goods have been created under Noritake's supervision. The lineup, based on a gentle navy and white palette, features illustrations drawn with a soft touch.
Canvas sneakers and leather clutch bags are printed with "Etoile" (star), the keyword for this collaboration. Baseball caps feature embroidery of text written by a fictional young man aspiring to be a novelist. The neckties are a triple collaboration with "Giraffe," designed with dots that transform into falling snow. The appeal lies in their simple yet romantic designs.
