Rugged yet beautiful. Workwear tailored by cantate.

Hello.

This is Ishibashi from cliché.


Since the start of August, 25AW items have been arriving one after another,

we are busy every day preparing for photography and online publication.


We have not yet caught up with introducing them on the blog,

there are only items that make us think, “We can’t wait to show them to you.” Please look forward to them.


So, this time—

Introducing “A-grade pants disguised as B-grade.”

They look exactly like authentic painter pants, but

“the ruggedness of workwear” and “beauty as fashion,”

paired with painter pants, the quintessential workwear item,

the outdoor staple: the shell jacket.


Although these are items that would normally thrive in different fields,

There is an interesting mismatch created by combining them.


it is also enjoyable to intentionally appreciate the difference in atmosphere each piece possesses!
