We are pleased to announce that the nonnotte event will start tomorrow, Saturday, August 10th.
Sugihara from nonnotte will be in the store tomorrow, the 10th (Sat), and the day after tomorrow, the 11th (Sun), so we hope those who can come look forward to it.
Today is
"nonnotte × CASANOVA&CO"
Up until now, we have worked with Sugihara of nonnotte on a variety of special orders.
During my time at AUBETT, we were the first to create clothes from scratch with the weavers, something we had never done before. In December of last year, we made clothes using Suvin Gold Supreme, the world's finest cotton material, with two different types of fabric.
Before that there will be long shirts and in March shirt jackets.
And now, this time.
This time, I didn't have any intention of ordering anything special.
However, as things progressed, we are now able to present it to you all as shown here.
This is all thanks to Mr. Sugihara.
As we announced, we have two special orders this time.
"Small special order" and "large special order".
I've written it that way to make it easier to understand, but it would be more accurate to say that the "miniature special orders" are just changes to the specifications from the collection rather than being special orders.
When I visited the exhibition of nonnotte's Fall/Winter 2024 collection, there was one piece of clothing that I was incredibly impressed with.
Because I do this kind of work, I have the opportunity to see collections from various brands in person, regardless of whether they carry the brand or not.
So, I look at a fair number of clothes.
I believe I have a deep understanding of Sugihara's clothing design, and I have seen a lot of different things.
Among these, each of Sugihara's collections contains "clothes with never-before-seen structures."
This time in particular was amazing.
And because we were so impressed, we decided to change the "button" to something we like better and make it available for all to consider.
This is it.

Draping Bias Sleeve Blouson
Material: 100% cotton
color _ DEEP BLACK
size_3,4,5
*Samples will be lined up on the day.
this.
Available in two colors.
The coloring is a combination of ALMOND, a shade similar to natural leather, with a touch of pink, a nonnotte essence.
And then there's DEEP BLACK, a deep color that never fades.
The fabric is the finest moleskin from our very own Kaneta Textiles.
This jacket has an incredible structure.
If you look at the front, can you see that the grain of the fabric is not symmetrical from the center line?
By the way, the "Specification Change" button is a white button made from half-baked buffalo bone.
I think it creates a nice contrast.
Also inline with the brand are black buffalo buttons.
The construction of this jacket is incredible.
As you can see, there are no shoulder lines.
It is continuous from the body to the sleeves.
Furthermore...
There is also no transition between the front and back of the dress.
There is no shoulder line at the back.
yes.
Amazing
This is a blouson with an incredible draping design, with the front and back body and sleeves all connected .
The side seams of the body are shifted to the back, and the fabric changes from the armpit to the inner sleeve.
I've never seen clothing constructed like this before.
Using draping techniques, she is able to manipulate fabric to create garments with stunning shapes.
Does anyone know how to say this?
I know.
"God Hand"
It's a godlike draping technique.
Furthermore, the eye-catching super gathers on the back of the dress are a testament to the craftsmanship behind the dress.
Gathering usually involves using elastic materials such as ribbing in conjunction with the process to gather the fabric tightly.
However, the hem parts are also made of the same Kaneta moleskin, which means that the fabric is gathered by sewing without using elastic.
In addition, there are darts on both sides of the back of the dress, around the shoulder blades.
This dart concentrates the back gathers of the blouson, which are made in one continuous piece.
And by pulling up the gathers with darts, the copious amount of gathered fabric doesn't fall down, creating a shape when worn.
Seeing this structure made me realize the additional skills of Sugihara-san.
And as the name suggests, the sleeves have bias cut fabric.
This structure makes the frame blend in perfectly with the outline of your arm when worn, creating an incredibly beautiful look.
I was so deeply moved.

Signature Baggy Trousers
Material: 100% cotton
color_ALMOND
size_3,4,5
*Samples will also be available here on the day.
And this one too.
These moleskin trousers are also from Kaneta Orimono.
As I introduced the other day, these pants do not reveal the wearer's groin or body lines.
These trousers have a very masculine and sharp look.
The buttons on these pants have also been changed to a "half-baked buffalo bone" style.
The blouson comes in two colors, ALMOND and DEEP BLACK, but the Baggy Trousers are only available in ALMOND.
This is a sample.
I wear a size 4.
Extraordinary back gathers.
DEEP BLACK.
This one is also size 4.
Kaneta Orimono's moleskin has a fabric texture that makes you think, "No way!"
DEEP BLACK highlights the soft, lustrous moleskin.
As for the Signature Baggy Trousers, we did not take any photos of them being worn as the sample is the brand's largest size, 5.
Please come to the store and see the actual product.
We will have samples of the three moleskin products mentioned above on display in the store, so we hope you will come and take a look at them and make your decision.
And then, "special order."

Draping Bias Sleeve Blouson
"LT"
size _ 4,5
This one also has the same shape as the previous blouson.
To me, this jacket is phenomenal so having the same shape was perfect.
And Kaneta Orimono's moleskin is incredible.
But the fabric is spectacular.
This one. It's made of wool and cotton.
Broken Houndstooth is an original organization created by Sugihara.
It's a huge challenge for that organization.
A combination of "black top x dark rose top".
Designer Sugihara also develops fabrics.
This fabric easily uses more than 10 colors, including the top color.
However, it seems that it is an extremely difficult technique to mix black and red TOP threads in the weave and create a complex look.
Actually this color.
As mentioned at the beginning, Suvin Gold Supreme released four types of clothing in December.
During that time, I went to Sugihara's home many times for repeated meetings.
At that time, the timing coincided with the production of fabric for the collection.
Sugihara showed me various simulations and I gave my own opinions on various things.
So I was saying what I like about this "Broken Houndstooth" color too.
The fabric was a combination of black TOP threads and red TOP threads.
``I want this.''
This combination would be extremely difficult to achieve, making mass production difficult.
However, they said they could make just one prototype for CASANOVA.
was born.
"Broken Houndstooth" was born into the world as a much more complicated organization than originally intended.
Although it has a jagged texture like staples, the color is vague and uneven.
Each thread is intricately combined to create a fabric with a texture never before seen.
Irregularity that exists within artificial regularity.
Even when you look at it with your eyes, its appearance is complex and not easy to understand.
Sugihara used a dobby loom at Mitsuboshi Wool in Bishu to create an even more complex weave.
The partially grilled buffalo bones look amazing.
And how can we bring out the best in that fabric in our clothes?
The conclusion we came to is this:
"Double it."
Following on from the Suvin Gold Supreme, here it is again.
"Double-layered fabric nonnotte"
The collar is curved, and there are actually four pieces of fabric layered together at this point.
The moleskin type mentioned earlier also has a folded collar, with two pieces of fabric overlapping, but this one has a "double layer" design.
So the collar is made up of four pieces of fabric.
Sugihara also took the construction of the collar to new heights, using a bias cut for the collar fabric.
This will make the curve of the collar look clear and beautiful.
Double shape (4 sheets) with bias.
A collar that stands on its own and has a beautiful outline.
Because the fabric is puffy, you can't see the big darts on the back.
The gathers are clearly defined and soft, creating a fullness.
I think this is a great match because it has a dual design.
back.
The outer fabric will also be on the back side, as it is a double layered design.
On this side, the gathers on the front are back-tucked.
The shape of the clothes is also shown beautifully on the back.
Looking at it this way, I think that double lining gives clothes an aura.
It is light to wear and very soft to the touch.
You can directly feel the texture of the fabric.
Also, it might be warmer than I thought. Lol
This combination of lightness and warmth is a benefit of its dual design.
I have absolute confidence in the coolness of the clothes, but the comfort of them has far exceeded my expectations.
I wear a size 4.
This blouson comes in two sizes: 4 and 5.
Taking into consideration the shape of the garment, including the gathers, we only produced it in sizes 4 and 5.
The arms are thin and quite sharp compared to the volume of the body.
Freestanding collar.
As mentioned above, the fabric is very soft, but by making it double layered, it allows the contours of the fine details to be clearly seen.
The hem bands are not all the same width.
Designed to get wider from front to back.
The sleeves are narrow and the body is voluminous.
I think you will be able to really feel the nonnotte drape.
And this.
The production is shockingly low.
The structure of the clothing uses a large amount of fabric and is double-layered.
This was an unprecedented number of meters used for a single blouson.
The amount of fabric used far exceeds that of a coat.
Therefore, only four items were sold in total.
There are two each of size 4 and size 5.
The price is ¥155,000 (plus tax).
As we have very limited quantities available for sale, we will only be selling these in-store until the evening of tomorrow, the 10th (Sat), and the 11th (Sun).
We have not yet decided whether or not the item will be listed on our online store, but if we have stock by the evening of Sunday the 11th, we will be happy to sell it to anyone who is interested.
We would also like to inform those who purchase the product about the name "LT."
I have worked with Sugihara of nonnotte on various special orders up until now, but the "LT" collection is one that both Sugihara and I have a very strong emotional attachment to.
Although we only sold four pieces of clothing, which is an incredibly small number, I think we turned out some really cool pieces.
Sugihara and I are looking forward to seeing who will be able to get their hands on these books starting tomorrow.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th.
