"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.
