I have been travelling to Japan for over fifteen years now, one of my obsessions with Tokyo are the old men and their unconscious old school style. There is something special in the way these guys put their look together with what essentially are pieces of clothing that they have had forever. These shirts, pants and jackets are laundered so expertly that they have lasted almost a lifetime, something I strongly believe in and practice myself. There's a beauty in the colours and fabrications in these garments that cannot be replicated with new clothes, the genius bit however lies in the styling - something I come back to again and again when starting a new collection.
