TOZAOU
Inspired by the important things that make up human life (work, sleep, food, architecture, etc.), memories, and experiences, we create products that utilize the tailoring skills we have cultivated through the production of men's clothing.
"mimi Track Jacket"
A blouson with "Mimi" lines similar to the lines of a track jacket. It was created based on a synthetic track jacket from the 1970s. The size 5 white coil zipper and handle are distinctive.
When I work at a tailored sewing factory, I end up with a lot of leftover fabric from items that are no longer mass-produced. Each factory processes this on a regular basis. Among them is a fabric called selvedge.
``Mimi'' is a border that is woven separately to prevent the fabric from fraying, and this is where the manufacturer's name and country of origin are inserted into the fabric of a suit, as a method of advertising and branding.
Therefore, there are fabrics with vibrant colors and designs that go against the plain suit fabrics. However, in original suit-type items, the hem part is not used and is discarded during cutting.
When I'm working on cutting, I often find fabrics with color combinations that really appeal to me.
However, I felt uncomfortable with the act of throwing it away in the trash, so I decided to change it from a fabric manufacturer to a tailor. This project was started with the aim of bringing “Mimi”, who can only exist anywhere else, to the main part of the design.
