Omar Afridi: Crafting Tradition with a Modern Twist
The brand Omar Afridi is known for blending two seemingly contradictory concepts: "Primitive Mode" (primitive = ancient, mode = fashion). Their unique silhouettes and technical patterns reflect this philosophy. The clothing, which evokes a sense of traditional craftsmanship, reflects the approach of two designers and the inspiration drawn from London’s fashion scene.
From Omar Afridi's 24-25AW collection, we have selected two blousons that showcase the brand's unique craftsmanship.
Minimalist and Refined Corduroy Steel Blouson



This blouson, made from supple lamb leather corduroy, is part of the leather outerwear category but features a matte, textured finish.
Its minimalist design, free of embellishments, is one of its most appealing qualities.
Additionally, the rayon lining offers a surprising level of comfort for leather outerwear.
Luxurious and Heavyweight Leather Blouson


This leather blouson is crafted with a perfectly calculated pattern and features a high ribbed collar designed to minimize skin exposure.
Although it has a square, loose silhouette, the dart lines at the hem prevent shape distortion and enhance its structured look when worn.
ZIGGY CHEN: A Fusion of Craftsmanship and Material Innovation
ZIGGY CHEN blends traditional Chinese aesthetics with Western clothing culture. The brand's fabric and button designs are all original and are known for becoming more nuanced with wear and time.
In the 24-25AW season, ZIGGY CHEN continues to showcase its intricate designs with rich materials, offering highly crafted blousons.
Rounded Cotton Velour Bomber Blouson



This short bomber blouson is defined by its loose silhouette, oversized body, and sleeves.
The feminine neckline and rounded silhouette create an elegant touch, while the cotton velour fabric, adorned with floral prints and a vintage-inspired crinkled finish, adds a soft, distinctive texture.
Short Blouson with Chinese-Inspired Fabric


A short blouson featuring a highly distinctive fabric reminiscent of ancient Chinese textile patterns.
The pattern blends geometric motifs with natural imagery, creating a complex and multi-faceted design that exudes a unique world view.
Classified as a short bomber jacket within the brand, it is highly versatile and stands out for its carefully crafted details and silhouette.
Designed with a wide body and pleats at the back hem, it offers a great fit and can be easily paired with various inner layers, making it a highly versatile piece.
JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE & O PROJECT: Minimalism with Cultural Roots
Both JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE and O PROJECT are designed by the same creator, yet each brand brings its own distinct world view.
While both brands aim for cultural minimalism, they emphasize wearability through their thoughtful, pattern-less construction.
These brands offer blousons that embody this concept, allowing for comfort and versatility in everyday wear.
JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE 2-Way Oiled Cotton & Wool Boa Blouson



A fresh 2-way reversible blouson combining oiled cotton ripstop and wool boa.
On the oiled cotton side, the boa peeking out from the neckline and hem adds a soft accent, while on the boa side, oiled cotton is used for the pockets and other parts, enhancing the rugged military feel.
The natural color of the boa exudes the gentle atmosphere characteristic of JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE, while still incorporating tough military elements, making this a uniquely versatile piece.
O PROJECT Corduroy Blouson with Functional Details


A short blouson featuring a rounded silhouette made from corduroy fabric.
The unique wide ridges of the corduroy, with a wardrobe-like texture, are designed to stand out with a stronger presence and weight compared to typical corduroy pieces.
The pattern design takes inspiration from military aesthetics, with multi-functional chest and arm pockets, creating a humorous and practical blouson that also reflects the brand's wardrobe-like essence.
Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO: Captivating World and Playful Design Skills
Known for its unconventional thinking and deeply explored design work, Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO enjoys immense popularity among younger generations.
Here, we highlight a blouson that embodies the brand’s distinctive approach.
Paying close attention to Japanese cultural elements and intricate details, this piece showcases the creative depth that sets this domestic brand apart.
MA-1 Blouson with a Perfectly Balanced Silhouette


This blouson is based on the MA-1 silhouette and features vintage processing, a signature technique of the brand.
Although it has a short length, its relaxed fit gives it a perfectly balanced silhouette.
The vintage treatment lends a street-style texture and expression, showcasing a unique sense of humor and a high level of design that sets it apart from other MA-1 jackets.
Sukajan-Inspired Blouson with Japanese Design Elements


A blouson based on the sukajan, which is a staple in Japanese culture, and is one of the most popular pieces in Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO’s wear collection every season.
For the 2024-25 AW season, a tiger graphic is embroidered on both the front and back.
This season also introduces "Tokio," symbolizing Japan's capital, embroidered on the back, offering an item that truly embodies the essence of Japan.
Expressing a Non-Overly Structured Image Through Clothing - nude:masahiko maruyama
This season, once again, the brand focuses on black as the base, emphasizing the natural texture and feel of materials. True to the name "nude:," the items avoid excessive design, instead integrating unique elements into simple silhouettes and designs. From these, we have selected two blousons to feature.
While the designs may appear simple at first glance, they are packed with brand-specific details that stand out upon closer inspection.
Blouson Featuring Brand-Specific Material Texture


An oversized bomber blouson made from cotton-nylon material with a matte sheen.
This piece emphasizes the texture and feel of the material, showcasing the brand's unique creative energy throughout its design.
It features the brand's signature tag on the back, which highlights the distinctive style that sets this brand apart.
The blouson is characterized by a slightly longer body and slim, clean sleeves, making it a refined and sleek design overall.
Technical Hooded Blouson



A blouson made from heavy jersey cotton featuring a large hood.
The design minimizes skin exposure, creating an appealing silhouette. The oversized hood adds versatility, allowing you to adjust the style to your preference.
The layered cut-off fabric on the sleeves reflects the brand’s concept, giving it an artistic and unique feel.
Additionally, the use of heavy jersey cotton provides excellent warmth, making this a long-lasting, staple piece in your wardrobe.
JULIUS - Dark Expression Conveying a Chaotic Worldview
We’ve selected blousons from the 24-25AW collection, embodying the theme of [disarray;] while maintaining the enduring design traits of the brand.
Each blouson reflects JULIUS’s unique interpretation and expression of "chaos." Although both share minimalistic aesthetics, they convey different atmospheres.
The core essence of the brand remains intact, with two blousons that incorporate complex elements, which we introduce here.
A Blouson with Bold and Complex Patterns That Stand Out


The first item we introduce is an oversized silhouette padded bomber jacket with a strong presence.
It features a bold and beautiful complex pattern that extends from the front body to the sleeves, along with glossy nylon fabric characteristic of JULIUS.
It is finished as a piece that exudes the brand's worldview, centered around a dark-toned color palette based on black.
Additionally, the entire jacket uses glossy fabric, and the lightweight nylon taffeta, reminiscent of the military MA-1, offers both volume and comfort, making it a versatile piece for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.
A Satin Bomber Jacket with Excellent and Delicate Graphic Design



Next, we introduce a satin bomber jacket that features a glossy material with graphic prints inspired by the collection theme [disarray;].
The graphic design expresses "chaos" through excellent and delicate techniques, which is the highlight of this piece.
The heavy texture and dull sheen characteristic of satin fabric blend well with the brand's concept, resulting in a refined finish.
The reverse side is solid black, allowing for 2-way styling depending on your mood or look.
D.HYGEN: A World of Aestheticism and Lyrical Sensibility with High Addictiveness
D.HYGEN stands out from other brands by deconstructing and reconstructing basic styles, incorporating a unique sense of aestheticism that turns negative perceptions into beauty, creating addictive real clothes.
We've picked a versatile bomber jacket from the brand that is easy to incorporate into everyday wear.
This time, we’ve selected a bomber jacket that excels in versatility, making it easy to adjust your body temperature with a zipper and pair with various outfits.
A Jacket with a Remarkable 3D Pattern Structure


A bomber jacket characterized by its impactful fabric texture at first glance.
This jacket combines solid black brushed cotton viella with polyester satin and quilting, and uses opal processing to dissolve the cotton viella on the surface, creating a delicately damaged effect.
It's packed with intricate techniques.
The complex one-piece pattern enhances mobility, and the darts used to create the three-dimensional design with flap pockets make it an irresistible piece of real clothing.
A bomber jacket featuring gimmick designs and wool back fleece fabric



A bomber jacket made from wool back fleece fabric, finished to be soft and comfortable to the touch.
The brand's renowned untwisted yarn back fleece is further enhanced with wool yarn, making the jacket both lightweight and highly insulating, providing a thoughtful design for the wearer.
The collar is set high and can be folded down for use as a neck warmer or worn up like a balaclava.
Additionally, two zippers are installed to help facilitate different styles and looks.
DEVOA Pattern Design Based on Human Anatomy
DEVOA releases numerous items characterized by pattern-making based on human anatomy, featuring lines and silhouettes that conform to the body.
The bomber jacket selected from DEVOA this time is based on a flight jacket, with an oversized silhouette while reflecting the pattern-making methodology mentioned above.
Vintage-Like Quilted Bomber Jacket


A quilted bomber jacket made of lightweight nylon was selected.
Inspired by old vintage flight jackets, this piece features a remake-style design infused with the brand’s unique pattern-making, making it an irresistible item.
The cuffs are ribbed, and the neckline and hem are made from Australian sheepshearling, providing excellent insulation.
The silhouette is loose-fit, with a compact length, and the lining is printed with graphics inspired by this season's collection.
Luxurious Wool Gabardine Bomber Jacket
A bomber jacket made of wool gabardine, based on the MA-1 flight jacket design.
The front features a double zipper by Excella, with a flap accenting the design. The length is slightly compact, and the silhouette is crafted in a relaxed fit.
Made from 100% domestically produced wool gabardine, the fabric is specially processed to achieve a deep "ultra-black" shade.
The material is exceptionally soft, offering a beautiful drape and exuding a classic atmosphere.


The Viridi-anne: Perfect Harmony with a Touch of Nostalgia
Introducing a bomber jacket from The Viridi-anne, known for its exquisite balance of detail design and silhouette that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
This season’s selection highlights a jacket with a distinctive neck design, capturing the brand's unique approach of creating "unusual" items that provoke a sense of discomfort.
It's a bomber jacket with the brand's signature details, carefully picked from this season's collection.
With its thick fabric, it’s perfect for the upcoming winter season and highly recommended for staying warm during the colder months.
A Leather Bomber Jacket with Unparalleled Presence


A rugged sheepskin leather bomber jacket with a nappa finish.
The sleeve length extends to cover the fingertips, but it's recommended to fold back about 5 cm to reveal the boa lining.
The high neck design with a boa material rib is a standout feature of this piece.
The silhouette is a relaxed fit, offering a tough and rugged look, while surprisingly lightweight and highly insulated, making it a statement piece with exceptional presence.
Highly Usable Jacket



A jacket made with AQUA DIMA fabric developed by Komatsu Matere.
