Kazuyuki Kumagai continues its craftsmanship in working with menswear essentials for Fall/Winter 2018 with its new line of casual staples. There is an overarching theme of exaggeration, comfort and loose-fitting styles all throughout the capsule. The emphasis remains upon relaxed cut details, which is translated through pieces such as baggy trousers that pair with furry knits and juxtaposing slouchy, yet tailored blazers.
The Kazuyuki Kumagai Fall/Winter color palette plays with earthy hues, navy tones, monochromatic schemes and some pops of red. The iconic leather jacket is also a part of the collection, delivering a slim cut that contrasts the carrot cut-trousers and loose turtlenecks. Some other standout items are the overcoats and sleek jackets with hidden placket details.
