I was taking stock of all the photos I had taken during the year - like this, to remind me of the good times - when I came across two photos from the Pitti Uomo in January 2019 which I had attended. assisted with Nicolò.
The first is a photo of a sweater from a Japanese brand and, when my eyes landed on it, the crush I had at the time came flooding back to me.
The second is a photo of an extraordinary coat which had left as lasting an impression on my mind as the sweater but which, paradoxically, I no longer remember.
So today I present to you these two nuggets that I am pleased to have not let die in the colorful patchwork of my digital film.
And then, another one slipped in too, which I discovered recently. It must have been a Tuesday. In any case, it was a beautiful day.
A Fujito raglan sleeve crewneck
As our Canadian friends say: I “fell in love” with this Fujito sweater. Cupid adjusted his shot, his eyes narrowed, his tongue between his teeth, and he aimed right at the guy!
In the heart. And it was at Pitti Uomo. Here is a photo that I took, on the spot, in excitement and haste, at the famous show:
Beyond the fact that it is made in Japan and that Fujito is a creative label that particularly speaks to me, look at all these little wads of multicolored threads that are so beautiful, so well distributed, on this slightly yellow olive wool rug.
It's chunky but not too chunky, to wear with a t-shirt underneath, wide, high-waisted navy blue pants and minimalist sky blue sneakers for example.
A Margaret Howell silhouette.
I am also won over by the collar, the stitch of which I like, and the embossed front of the sweater, as well as the raglan sleeves. No honestly, it's perfect. Maybe apart from this 20% nylon which annoys me a little.
🤩🤩🤩
It seems that we can find it here in stock .
A Hansen Garments patchwork coat
Just like the Fujito sweater, I spotted this piece at Pitti Uomo in January 2019. I even tried it.
It just goes to show that it's always the same clothes that make our little hearts vibrate. Except when I wore spiked moccasins. My little heart mourned that, like a toxic ex.
Brief.
This coat is a patchwork of vintage materials from deadstock. So, no two are the same . Interesting. Even exhilarating. And, if the main material of this coat is wool
The buttons are made of horn and it is made in Europe.
I like the bathrobe shape with its shawl collar, its length and its patch pockets.
Here is the beast carried. Well, the photo isn't the most successful but let's say that with these spots, it wasn't easy.
Yes, it's a statement coat you could say in English, that is to say a coat that you can't ignore. And that's very good. Very clever of the brand to have made it using predominantly blue fabrics. This calms his passion a little.
However, a reissue with browns, greens and a little yellow would not be refused!
A Corduroy Surveyor costume ( jacket and pants )
I like this French brand.
First of all, we can only feel intrigued by the visual universe of the brand, a universe that we owe to the designer Régric who joined the brand since its creation, in 2011.
Example of a creation by Régric for the Arpenteur brand.
The brand relies on its talent to build its brand image and the aesthetic charter of its website.
Then, the brand manufactures in France and it is a desire that I respect. And, finally, the clothes are simply tasteful and modest, in a good way. That is to say, the aesthetic intention is always fair and measured. In addition, it is based on the clothing of the past, clothing whose form was first dictated by utility.
This is how we make quality clothes.
Of course, all this comes at a price and it is high. But it nonetheless remains fair, taking into account the production context and the level of manufacturing.
Back to that corduroy suit.
The beauty of this set is that it can (and should!) be mismatched.
It's much easier to wear one and the other separately than the other way around. Obviously, if I had these pieces, I would risk it! Oh yeah ! But above all, this is how I recommend wearing it: the jacket alone with navy chinos and a white t-shirt.
The jacket itself is strong enough, gives enough personality to do without the pants.
And let's talk about pants.
He is not left out!
I don't know why it can't be found on the brand's own e-shop, however. In any case, I can see myself in it, trying out stylistic moves and a mess of layering...
I keep all these beautiful people in my sights, for the sales. If I have not, by then, already spent what I could have spent there.
But I take care of myself.
Or not.
