nanamica introduces its Spring/Summer 2019 collection entitled 'NANATORA Alternative Dressing.' It embodies a traditional Japanese styling concept that purposefully mismatches outfits. The traditional element continues with the color palette, inspired by traditional marine -- the hues highlight white, khaki, red, and the most prominent navy blue.
The seasonal capsule features a variety of technical apparel including a down jacket filled with removable down for warmth, a hooded coat with GORE-TEX components, and a reversible jacket with gingham checks. Additional pieces include the lightweight three-layer GORE-TEX pieces such as the soutien collar coat and the coat with a removable hood for additional functionality. The three-button lapel suit also stands out with the GORE-TEX makeup with durable and lightweight elements. The capsule also features double-breasted suits, the ALPHADRY suit, and the stretchy chino cloth.
