HARAJUKU MIDNIGHT WALK

昨日散歩した時に
原宿の写真を何枚かとりました。

夜の景色はまた違う雰囲気になります。

Here are some photos I took from Hrajuku last night,
The scenery and atmosphere I know from there,
has different sight when it come to the night,
Feeling dark side of popness.

Have a nice day.

ミラノの写真(A pic in MIlan.)

今日、写真を整理していたら、
懐かしい写真が出てきました。

この時はパリ展の後、ミラノに戻り
皆でご飯を食べる直前です。

I was cleaning my pics today.
Then I found this one which was taken at Milan after
homme exhibition in Paris last time,,

Nest September I'm coming back again!

Have a nice rest of the day.
best regards

今日も (Today)

月曜日、、サンプリングも終盤、
今日も雨、夜は雨。
ここのところ気候に左右されやすい。

ぎりぎり迄妥協はしたくないから、
限界で出来る作品が多いとも思います。

気合い入れていくぞ！

*Sampling has been still proceeding at sort of final stage,
Today is raining and raining in the night of Tokyo..
Don't wanna compromise, that's how we've reached limit of the pieces we did so far.

Still needs more power to go on.

Have a nice dream.

紹介 [ALESSANDRO]

イタリアの青年を紹介します。
アレサンドロ君です。

彼とは６月にパリで再会したフィレンツェに住む友人を通じ知り合いました。
若いながらカメラに向ける表情はとても強いものがあります。
いろんな事を話をしていく中、彼も洋服が好きで
先日東京のアトリエに遊びに来てくれた時にもいろんな話をしました。
今ブランドのモデルに考えています。

僕の洋服が好きだと言ってくれとても嬉しいです。
ありがとう。
彼の雰囲気は、ブランドが持つ空気とは遠くありません。
いくつか新しいサンプルと、Fittingテストをしていました。

このブランドはプロフェッショナルを起用していません。
表情が固定されてしまうからです。
日常が垣間みれないというか、その人物
独自の世界観、ストレスがなく自然体の強さと絡ませる事が大切だと
思っているからです。

無理に見えない、プラスチックな景色を排除して
アンダーグランドな青い要素がこの洋服には必要だと
思っています。

彼の写真は近々FACEBOOKやTUMBLRの方にUPされると思います。

東京、今日は曇っています。
家のベランダを改造しようと思います。

＊
Let me introduce one guy here,
Alessandro Gaspieri whom I met here in Tokyo after
my friend's introduction ,,well,, He's also a new friend of mine that I met in Paris.

He visited my atelier in Tokyo and we talked about the taste of closings and some other stuff,,
Well, It's good that we share some interests as I've been thinking him being Model for my new pieces.

He actually has a good shape and styles,
It is like natural strength inside that I felt as I was shooting a little with him
and that somehow I believe same sort of dark-end atmosphere to match with.

Well, Photos from that day will be coming soon through our Tumblr & Facebook page,
so please keep up with their updates.

Some feeling like underground and not being in a mood of plastic& fancier side of fashion images,,
But refined in darkness.
That's my feeling so...
This is the reason,I ask models I met in my life everyday.

Most importantly,
I also believe coincidence things,
Time and feeling, and if I met someone who wants me to speech.
Then I don't mind.That's y.

I'm not saying too friendly either too keen, just think the life is more about feeling and sharing mood
,,rather than being yourself to conquer your things alone always.

Tokyo is cloudy a bit.
I'm gonna clean my house today.

東京にて

今次のシーズンのリサーチをしています。
ある意味潜伏期間。

やっている事、来年2014年の秋冬の事、、って、どれだけ早い、、？
ファッションというか、、全くファッションだとは感じていないけれど、
この期間が自分の現在出来る事のタイムリミットという意味では、
とても良い線引きになっています。
でも早い、にしても早いけれど。。

生地やデザインもそうだけれど
トワル作って何回繰り返しても、自分がどんどん渦の中に入っていって
抜け出せなくなって落ち込んでいって、。

行き着く先は、全部吐き出して、燃え尽きる！
この感覚は嫌いじゃないです。

来月９月にブランドは東京個展です。

発表する春夏の新作は、
少しつっぱってる気がします。


僕は東京で今、レザージャケットのトワル進行してます。

ここではよく歩きます。
僕自身走る方が得意なのですが、走ると奇麗な景色も見逃してしまうような
気がします。味わって確かめれる事も、
とっても早いスピードで通りすぎてしまうから、
それが何処にいったかも分からなくなりそうです。

熱狂や興奮と共に駆け抜ける時間は
パッパッと通過すると、肝心な次の地点で
重要な記憶が置いてきぼりになっている事があります。

なので、きちんと歩ける様に前に進んでいこうと思っているのです。


*写真は次期春夏展用に作っていたオブジェの一部です。

Favorite place.

This is my favorite place I've been so far.

Charles bridge in Prague.

I was feeling just as coolest as what I could've ever felt at that time when I was there.
This photo is from that time.

Have a nice dream.

ANIMAL

It's a lot to me sometimes.
Well,, things passed away sometimes tell me how strong they were,

How much they are trying to live and survive.

As I drew, I feel this.
It's kind of how you take a photo out of life you are surviving right now.

Feeling your spirit inside of you.

Then,dreaming is fading away.
Go down to the darkness,,slowly.

Because you know we are not alive here to think how much we could ignore certain images
you don't always wanna picture.

Be strong to keep on facing,
Since you are here.

It's shining.

FABRIC RESEARCH

I'm currently designing some of new styles
for next spring&summer Paris exhibition.

I wanna use something really light like skin & wind.

Here I was collecting tips of swatches I've collected ages ago so far.

-Distorted Lace-

-Silver shining denim- *Using only back side of it's fabric to make surface distorted shining.

-Dear Skin- *Stretching lining attached on the back makes itself stretchy.

-Sone washed black denim- *Using 13.5 oz heavy black-black denim with grey toned fades.

Have a nice day.

A Song [LOST IN GREY]

Time passes like tears..

As I'm saying this line a couple of times,,
I guess it's pretty much yes,,

Since I started Fagassent, It's been now 3 years and half passed.

This week in japan is holiday called OBON.
People goes back to their home to pray for their ancient,,

However,,, not for me,,!
Still planning my sheet for next femme exhibition in Paris.

I actually cleaned a bit of my laptop then
I found some clips & song I made for Fagassent.

I should make another one by now like I said before seriously.

Click here to watch the process of recording 3 years ago in London.

Recording Clip.

How are you?
It's bloody hot summer time right now,, like melting summer again.,,.
Feeling like I'm in Spa all the time during my work everyday,,
Cuz I hate Air Conditioning things..

Just a little time I was finding today to look for one thing,
I was looking for some of clips like 2 and half year ago where was in east london,

Old street, Recording studio was near there,
Then we were recording some songs for our debut collection.

Here we found the clip.
Maybe it's time to record another one by now.

YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

I think people catch this label like simply denim..?

Well,,, let me say don't get me wrong.

Fagassent is absolutely different from what you consider.
To me, It's a way to represent one direction of insanity and chaos in one canvas.

Thank you for your perspective and well understanding.

Don't think to get some meaning,
Just feel atmosphere itself and feeling that these pieces has,,
Screaming inside,FAGASSENT.

Have a nice day.

SHOTGUN

Today I'm doing shotgun playing,
Just  idea I had some seasons ago,

It would be nice to get some hole like shotgun all around the denim,
Since then,,
It's been some fun to splash my soul here..

Have a nice day.
