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.
For a glimpse on how Pas de Calais’ pieces move, get into a summer mood with this homage to the French lifestyle that always embraces that internationally celebrated joie de vivre. See how these pieces capture the wanderlust spirit of this quite incredible collection.
