JUN HASHIMOTO AT PITTI 86

[FrankCowperwood]



Yes, will do that now.


I took a million pictures of the damn shirt and couldn't get a single one to work out. Interestingly enough, when I later spoke to Aldo and Giulia at Harris Wharf, they also showed me a coat also dyed with a Kyoto black.

One thing that Jun mentioned, but which didn't come through in the interview, is that he'd like to be able to showcase traditional techniques alongside the modern clothing. I think the shirt is the great example, as are the Edo Kiriko pieces.

Here are two very brief write-ups about the Kyoto dyeing industry: http://kougeihin.jp/english/crafts/0210/f0210.html and http://tumblr.leonnyc.com/post/19431956677/the-blackest-black-kyotos-black-dyeing-tradition. If anyone has any more insight, feel free to share.

Shoot. C'mon. Now I need this black.

think I need some version of that inner rider in my life...does he make stuff in larger sizes? looks like he tops out at 52 per his web store

 

[Synthese]

Yeah, I think 5 is his biggest, and I'm not sure it would fit a 52. I don't have any experience with any of it, though - and he's very adamant about things fitting tight.

 

[LA Guy]

He likes tight. I am a 4, sometimes a 5, and I am a small to regular 50 Eu. Some 5 might fit you.

Is the subtitle a play on the Evangelion reboot? Because if so, I gotta say SF (or at least SWD) always surprises me with how many anime fans it has. (Edit: continental philosophers as well)

Beware what you're stepping into here. I don't know if you've ever witnessed Synthese unleash a full train of concentrated doki doki... but it's a lot to handle.
