PAS DE CALAIS AW14 Collection at Tutu Urban Boutique



PAS DE CALAIS AW14 Collection at Tutu Urban Boutique.

Reinventing Nostalgia with a Streak of Simplicity

Japanese simplicity meets French elegance in the Japanese street wear brand Pas de Calais. Yukari Suda has been the Pas de Calais designer since the company's launch in Japan, 1998. She balances Japanese simplicity with French elegance and each piece is defined by a clean and sophisticated aesthetic. Through various techniques from traditional dyeing to highly advanced technology, natural materials such as cotton, linen, and silk are transformed into original textiles which come together to compose a collection of effortless and wearable pieces.

The designer’s signature pieces include an elegant, light-to-the-touch cardigan and cropped sweatpants made of wool fabric — the kind typically used for business suits. This distinctive combination of fabric gives the line a fresh take on casual classics. In fact, the more you wear Pas de Calais, the more characteristic the textures becomes, which is just the kind of comfort Suda is seeking.

An essence of purity and nostalgia added to modern casual design, the Pas de Calais spirit is a romantic contemporary universe. Combining a variety of traditional dyeing and advanced techniques used with cotton, linen and silk, Pas de Calais develops its own original textiles. Natural materials are harmoniously composed into a comfortable wearable collection. The colour tones, like the surrounding landscape, are based on soft naturally subdued shades of ecru, sand, khaki green, chalk white, dove grey and coal black.
