TWILL PANTS — FRAGMENT

Trousers led by the pleat design at the waist. The turned-back hem lowers the center of gravity and lends a sense of weight.
Raw edges are used deliberately, bringing in a note of the “new.”
The patches are worked in herringbone stitch, and the wave line of the pockets is the point. They can also be worn as a matching set with the jacket in the same fabric.

-Material-

Polyester was born more than half a century ago.
In a British laboratory, two chemists spun thread out of petroleum. Not an imitation of nature, but something closer to a declaration addressed to it.

It swept the world through the boom years, became the uniform of the space age, and kept pushing the limits of sport. It fell out of favor once, and returned——not because the material changed, but because the resolution of the times finally caught up.

It does not store time the way linen does; it holds a composure that stays beautiful. A beauty that does not change——or a strength that has no need to.

-Voice-

Picasso turned to ceramics in the 1940s, late in his life.
He carried the free line he had built up in painting straight onto the surface of the clay. Not planned in advance, but in dialogue with the material, the hand moving as it would. These trousers were born the same way.
