Taking inspiration from the past to make something new has been a driving force throughout our collection. When it came to producing denim, there was no better place to start than the home of Japanese denim in Okayama. Explore more at vowels.net. Video by Koji Ueda

The debut capsule collection from vowels. Rooting our designs in a sense of nostalgia, our capsule collection featured essentials for daily wear. We took inspiration from an expansive collection of rare books and magazines to inform key design details across the collection. All pieces in the capsule collection were designed and made in Japan, led by Creative Director Yuki Yagi. Video by Koji Ueda

“Maybe I’ m tired? In my mind I was thrown into a box, and before I knew it the lid was closed and I was locked inside. The current state of consciousness can be deceptive; rather, right now, the more superficial, the better. You may be able to conceal with superficial lies, but you will not be able to conceal the truth.” Mihara Yasuhiro Trompe l'oeil is a method in which a door, window, or other similar item is drawn inside a space to deceive the viewer. Revealing the humour of this suffocating real world to light, where despair reigns supreme and too much information causes mayhem. he general consensus is that fashion can be a therapeutic outlet. Sweats are superimposed with a transfer-print of vintage clothing, tops covered with mesh fabrics, and intentionally fixed parts. Transfer-print of vintage apparel, mesh-fabric tops, and purposefully fastened portions. The Spring Summer collection is based on Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO's speciality—layered and docking styles—with several humorous features. Military workwear, including denim, which is seen by Mihara as a symbol of mass production and stereotypes, has undergone a number of changes, beginning with ageing and distressing, and warped silhouettes based on the concept of Trompe l’ oeil which are used throughout. The designer's distinctive expressive techniques and re-imagined hand-painted prints are also included. Many of the pieces in the collection were inspired by vintage clothing from the 1950s and 1970s. The designer, however, did not stop there. Partially sunburned areas, button impressions, careful creases, and loose threads are all preserved within the garments - common techniques often seen within vintage clothing. In addition to the modified series that symbolises Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO’ s reinterpretation for women, the “shrink series” . The use of filling fabric to draw attention to the female figure has progressed even further. This season, the new style ‘GEORGE’ will make its debut this season. These sneakers will have original clay soles, similar to the running shoes that were popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
