As announced a few days ago, bengt paris.
Yesterday, I posted the items that will be available as part of the collection, and it seems like I'm already getting a good response even before the event starts.
It's not like the brand is widely available throughout the country, and I haven't even posted any photos of the clothes being worn. Moreover, if you just look at the types of clothing, it's mainly casual sweatshirts, yet people seem to be able to grasp that "otherworldly" feeling just from the photos.
I believe the actual items will deeply resonate with the viewer's sensibility, so please feel free to experience everything that bengt paris has to offer.
And today, to help you consider your options, I'll post a few photos of the collection I introduced yesterday, showing them being worn.
I am 167cm tall and weigh 52kg, wearing a size S.
Regarding the size balance, I can't say much as different people perceive it differently, but I believe it is generally considered a relatively tight fit.
However, the body line is generally not revealed at all, and there is a decent amount of width, with the torso separating from the body when standing upright.
I think the word "sharp" best describes the fit of bengt paris.
As I mentioned yesterday, bengt paris is characterized by its "stitch work" and "fabric," but Jimmy's self-designed patterns are also of considerable quality.
The outline of the torso pulls away from the body.
And the arms are slender.
The shape tapers from the armpit to the hem.
When actually worn, this creates an extremely excellent silhouette.
This is due to the volume in the armpit area and the brilliant pattern work of Jimmy-san, which allows the armhole to tuck inside the body of the garment.
This makes the body wearing it look "sharp".
When the sleeves are lowered, the balance between the tapered, slim hem and the body of the garment appears effortlessly beautiful.
It's extremely rare to see such an outline in a sweatshirt.
Therefore, if someone who appreciates this kind of balance wears it, they will surely feel its "sculptural beauty."
This is why I believe that "bengt paris could compete and win against any sweatshirt in the world based on its shape alone, even without stitching or quality fabric."
It's amazing. Please look forward to it.
The hood stands up very well.
It has a high-level design.
The CAMO JACKET is a one-of-a-kind item, but as I mentioned, the SWEAT and HOODIE come in three sizes. So, please pay attention to this design in the size that suits you best.
And today, as a limited-time event, I'd like to briefly introduce some of the "one-of-a-kind archive" lineup that will be available in stores for these nine days only.
These are "archive pieces" that Jimmy-san has been creating for many years.
Each one is unique, and I find them truly captivating.

The stitching work of bengt paris is full of surprising techniques, but this T-shirt here outlines the object with barely any lines, using almost only the inner stitching, making it recognizable to everyone.

In contrast, this one seems like a color version of the previous one, but it's completely different.
The sewing machine's thread tension is ridiculously messed up, and the surface is composed only of "bobbin thread loops."
This is insane.
I've never seen anything like it.
I thought, "You can do that?"
Although I didn't take a photo, both the upper and bobbin threads are properly present on the back, so it is indeed sewn. This one too.
The strength and weakness of the loops are also exquisite.
This is truly divine craftsmanship. Seriously.
Incredible technique.

I can understand this pose.

This pose makes no sense. LOL.
Normally, for a subject like this, wouldn't you want a pose that conveys more dynamism?
This is precisely Jimmy-san's unique "extraction."

There are also short-sleeved shirts like this.
In terms of clothing cycles, it's peak autumn/winter season.
Given that, it's unlikely that short-sleeved shirts, let alone T-shirts, would be readily available. Logically speaking.
However, I believe. We still have Araki Yuu's short-sleeved shirts in store, and even short-sleeved shirts can transcend seasons.

This one also has it on the back.

The "archive pieces" that will be displayed during the event, the ones I picked out and photographed today, were a bit biased towards certain characters.
Perhaps I just like that myself.

There are also caps.
During the event, I think you'll be able to see a wide variety of both the collection and archive pieces in store, so please look forward to it.
Regarding the one-of-a-kind archive pieces, I only introduced some today, but the brand has prepared several times more variations. Get excited!
Also, for those who find it difficult to visit the store from afar, we will do everything we can to assist you if you wish, so please feel free to consult us.
I'll introduce more in this blog as well.
