YUKI HASHIMOTO SS20 WORKWEAR COLLECTION

After the debut of its Spring/Summer 2019 collection, Japan’s up-and-coming brand YUKI HASHIMOTO returns with a lookbook for Spring/Summer 2020. Pursuing a “New Order” that respects the history and culture of fashion while designing pieces that go beyond current trends, “Y27=F2RM7LA” includes experimental, workwear-inspired items along with a variety of sleek leather bags.

T-shirts take on neon-colored stitching, black and white-colored blocks cover the knees of pants and graphics, created by photographer Kazuhito Ishikawa, are found on the backs of T-shirts. The collection subverts conventional ideas of workwear with quirky details that include ties placed on the arms of shirts instead of the fronts, half of a leather vest imposed on a trench coat and moto jacket collars fixed on tweed blazers. YUKI HASHIMOTO also worked in collaboration with KITAYAMA STUDIO, a Beijing-based leather goods brand, to release a variety of bags. Styles include fanny packs, top-handle and over-the-shoulder bags — all in white, gray, black and orange colorways.

Yuki Hashimoto is a Japanese designer who worked as a design assistant for brands such as Raf Simons, Mason Margiela and Kris Van Assche. He draws inspiration from experiences that express raw and sometimes contradictory emotions; his colorful pieces take on dark tones, while mixing different materials and styles.

Raf Simons & Fred Perry Collaborate for FW19 Collection

Raf Simons has debuted the latest collection in his ongoing Fred Perry collaboration, once again taking inspiration from British youth culture and classic subcultures. For this collection, Simons has celebrated the work of photographers Gavin Watson and George Plember, with archival photographs digitally printed across the pieces.

Watson began photography at a young age, and had already captured over 10,000 by his 16th birthday. His work focused on his own growing up and his love of two-tone music throughout the 1970s and early ’80s. Plember, on the other hand, was a South London schoolteacher who centered his work on Thamesmead, a London brutalist housing estate, and the young people who lived there.

In the FW19 collection, Watson and Plember’s work appears on classic Fred Perry pieces including hoodies, turtle neck sweatshirts, polo shirts and colorful T-shirts. Additionally, the Fred Perry laurel wreath appears throughout the collection, replacing the hanging metal hoops from Simons’ FW19 collection.

The collection has been launched with an immersive lookbook that takes users inside a virtual house. The lookbook — which is similar to last season’s campaign imagery — is shoppable and contains hidden clues to take you somewhere different. The full collection is available now from the Fred Perry web store and select locations.
