What Would Summer Wear?

Kapital

Posted in fab designers, style by summercrobbins on January 24, 2009

I love clothing that has soul. The Japanese are masters at taking classic American sportswear and reinterpreting it into something so artisanal and romanticized that the clothing actually takes on a personality of its’ own. There’s always something homespun that I love about the delicate details, the exaggerated proportions, and the overall individuality of each piece that is created. Of course, you’ll pay a premium price for these pieces but in my opinion, they are worth every penny.

I recently became aware of an amazing Japanese brand named Kapital. Their website is almost entirely in Japanese and they don’t have a store here in the U.S. but you are able to view images from their most current and past catalogs. Here are some of my favorite images which I find so incredibly inspiring, and I hope you do too.
