Japanese label Rainmaker Kyoto releases an eclectic and refined lookbook for its upcoming Spring/Summer 2019 collection and the photographs depict a very promising selection of amazingly elegant semi-formal clothing ensembles.
It has become apparent that the luxury fashion brand aims to "expand its stylistic horizons beyond mere suiting." The Spring/Summer 2019 capsule is a direct example of this as both the men's and women's attire effortlessly communicate an artistic interpretation of sophisticated silhouettes. Rainmaker Kyoto's elegant semi-formal garments for next year boast a well-styled fusion between Western and Eastern influences. That is, the designers orchestrate a careful combination of "trim shirting and slouchy turtlenecks" with loose and kimono-inspired silhouettes. The result is a balanced collection of elegant semi-formal garments that can be worn during work hours or outside of them.
