Sep 12, 2020
To celebrate the release of the fashion magazine "#StayStylish 2020 AUTUMN," Onward Kashiyama Co., Ltd. has collaborated with actress Anne Nakamura on a special autumn project, "Coats and Knitwear for Adults," for its flagship women's brand "23ku." Pre-orders for the made-to-order coats and knitwear will begin on September 11th on the Onward Group's official fashion online store, "Onward Closet" (https://crosset.onward.co.jp/shop/23ku/).
*From September 19th, reservations for made-to-order coats and sales of knitwear will begin at select stores, including 23ku GINZA.



As part of its owned media strategy, 23ku publishes a fashion magazine and is running an advertising promotion featuring Anne Nakamura, a major influence on the next generation. For this fall/winter season, #StayStylish 2020 AUTUMN will be published on September 25th. Prior to this, an online version will be released on Friday, September 11th. To commemorate this, a special collaboration project has been realized between 23ku's clothing, which pursues high quality and comfort, and Anne Nakamura, who shares this concept. "Now is the time to be positive about both fashion and attitude, and I want people to experience truly great things and find a piece they can wear for a long time," explains Anne Nakamura, whose "Coats and Knitwear for Adults" collection is inspired by her desire to help people experience truly great things and find a piece they can wear for a long time. The collection uses sustainable materials that are kind to both the environment and people, and Nakamura herself personally suggested the silhouette, color, and design. The coat, inspired by the image of a handsome woman, features a compact silhouette with a masculine design, making it a piece that can be worn like a jacket. Available in two colors, navy and black, and priced at ¥79,000 and ¥80,000 (excluding tax), pre-orders are accepted and the knitwear is made to order. The knitwear is made of sustainable wool, has a lustrous texture, can be worn alone, and has a relaxed fit, allowing you to enjoy the soft comfort that knitwear is known for. Available in four colors: basic gray, navy, camel, and a vibrant orange, priced at ¥13,500 and ¥14,500 (excluding tax).

About the Nakamura Anne x "23ku" Autumn Special Collaboration Project "Knit Edition"

■A soft knit made from 100% sustainable wool that feels smooth against the skin and can be worn on its own


◆POINT 1
We paid particular attention to creating an exquisite line around the neck that is neither too tight nor too open.

◆POINT 2
The sleeves are slightly longer for easier blousing, and the rolled cuffs give a delicate look.

◆POINT 3
The slightly loose fit makes it comfortable to wear, but the high-quality material prevents it from looking loose and gives it a neat look.

[Key Points]
This knit with a slightly loose, comfortable design is an excellent item that can be worn all year round. It is easy to wear like a cut-and-sew, and having one in your wardrobe will greatly expand the range of your outfits.

■The raw wool is made into fabric by BOTTO GIUSEPPE, a world-renowned spinning manufacturer with a long history in Italy. With a history of over 140 years, this spinning manufacturer is known worldwide for producing high-quality wool. The entire process of purchasing raw wool, washing, spinning, twisting and weaving is carried out with a commitment to sustainability, and we have earned RWS international certification. With wool as the starting point for thinking about the future of the world, we have created high-quality knitwear that you can wear and cherish for a long time. *RWS international certification (RESPONSIBLE WOOL STANDARD) is a standard for wool procurement that is based on the pillars of no mulesing, environmental conservation, the pursuit of traceability and reliability.
