KAKISHIBU CAPSULE COLLECTION womenswear
Discover the super natural textile dye made of persimmon fruit called KAKISHIBU made in Kyoto, Japan.
The capsule collection RESILIENCE is informed by the main material used, such as KAKISHIBU dyed cotton. A living tradition which SHOHEI encountered to convert into authentic modern designs.
The Kyoto-made natural dye uses fermented tannin juice from unripe persimmon fruit. Each piece is unique with its brush-stroke hand-applied textile dye. The material’s aesthetic naturally lead to the exploration of creating abstract paintings and scribblings which then got applied in form of top-stitching and used on overall formations on the shirts-designs specifically.
The idea is to create a product that makes the wearer look like they wear a piece of abstract modern art.
