Today, from CHIAHUNG SU , available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka, Shinsaibashi), we will introduce a styling featuring the down jacket developed for the 25-26AW collection.
We also touch on each item used in this styling, so please enjoy it until the end.
CHIAHUNG SU’s Distinctive Asymmetry and One-of-a-Kind Tailoring Style
The jacket at the center of today’s styling is a piece that condenses CHIAHUNG SU’s brand philosophy.
This jacket features a single button placed higher than usual and a delicate, narrow shawl collar that leaves a strong impression.
It blends classic tailoring with modern adjustments, achieving both elegance and sharpness.
The fusion of mode-like construction and artisanal craftsmanship results in a design that pairs well not only with tailored trousers but also with wide pants and various other bottoms—truly a statement piece that highlights the wearer’s individuality.
The front features bold asymmetric (left-right uneven) paneling, and the pockets placed within it are designed like sharp slits—left unattached for a unique look. This distinctive construction changes expression with movement, offering something new every time you see it.
The cuffs and hem are intentionally designed to let the lining peek out slightly, creating a refined layered effect.
Rolling up the sleeves to reveal the lining produces a contrast of textures and colors, allowing you to enjoy different moods with a single garment.
As you walk or move, the subtle flashes of the lining add visual interest and depth to the styling. The buttons repurposed from old 1940s Taiwanese coins act as a striking accent.
More than functional parts, these details carry history and story, strongly conveying CHIAHUNG SU’s artisanal spirit.
The silhouette of this jacket features CHIAHUNG SU’s signature longer length and relaxed body width.
Although it has an overall relaxed feel, the brand’s unique pattern-making ensures that it is not merely loose—beautiful drape lines maintain a stylish appearance.
This achieves both mode-like presence and comfortable wearability.
The sleeves, however, are cut slightly slimmer, creating contrast with the loose body.
This exquisite balance sharpens the overall appearance when the jacket is worn, giving a sophisticated impression.
The longer length also makes it ideal for layered styling, creating rich depth between innerwear and bottoms.
The material used is 100% cotton hickory stripe fabric.
Hickory, known from American workwear, is reinterpreted by CHIAHUNG SU into a distinctive texture that also carries a hint of Japanese sensibility.
The thickness is similar to that of shirt fabric—light and not overly heavy, offering a comfortable wearing experience.
This perfect balance allows it to be worn for three seasons except midsummer.
The most remarkable point is its dyeing method.
The dyes used are natural dyes traditionally passed down in Taiwan, and the entire dyeing process is done by hand in the brand’s own atelier. This uncompromising approach creates a depth and richness far beyond a typical stripe fabric, resulting in a one-of-a-kind texture.
For the inner layer, we selected a shirt with an impressive mandarin collar and wrap-style front layered design.
The oxidized metal buttons and meticulous pattern-making give it an artisanal weight.
With its longer length, it pairs well for layered looks with shorter jackets.
The matte texture of the cotton-linen blend feels pleasant on the skin, and the hand-dyeing with traditional Taiwanese natural dyes creates unique natural gradients that follow the unevenness of the fabric.
Its slightly long, slim oversized silhouette allows it to be worn like a shirt-coat, making it an artistic yet practical piece usable across three seasons except midsummer.
For the finishing touch to the styling, we selected round frames from RIGARDS made of natural water buffalo horn.
The complex black-and-white coloration and the warmth unique to natural materials resonate deeply with the artisanal textures of the jacket and knitwear.
Starting this season, a metal lens insert has been added inside the rim, giving the matte horn frame a refined metallic impression, and together with the lightweight titanium alloy temples, ensures comfortable wear.
With maintenance using the included oil, you can enjoy its unique aging over many years.
Wide Pants by CHIAHUNG SU, Where Natural Dyes Create a Unique Texture
Wide pants featuring a standout asymmetric design with multiple tucks on the right leg.
This bold silhouette and design give the pants a commanding presence—even as a standalone bottom, they serve as a statement piece.
They also offer high versatility, pairing well with various tops and outerwear, making them a strong anchor for many different styling approaches.
A structured design that conveys history and storytelling, artisanal dyeing, and details steeped in heritage—all elements that embody CHIAHUNG SU’s philosophy.
Despite the bold asymmetric design, these wide pants are crafted with precise pattern-making to ensure high practicality and comfortable wear.
The back of the waistband features elastic, allowing for a relaxed feel while flexibly fitting various body types.
They also include belt loops, making classic styling with a belt possible.
The deep rise allows for a modern high-waist look as well.
From the waist to the hem, the fabric falls straight down, and this relaxed vertical flow, combined with the texture of the material, creates elegant draping.
It is a thoroughly calculated piece that suits many body types while balancing both relaxation and a stylish silhouette.
These wide pants are designed with an overall relaxed straight-wide silhouette.
The main highlight is the multiple tucks placed at the front.
This meticulous tuckwork adds richness and ease to the fabric, while also emphasizing a beautiful vertical line when worn.
As a result, even with a loose wide silhouette, the pants maintain an elegant and sophisticated presence without appearing sloppy.
These pants use a curved check-patterned linen fabric.
The natural linen texture combined with CHIAHUNG SU’s meticulous craftsmanship results in an expression unlike anything else.
The fabric is dyed in a unique grey with a faint purplish tint, featuring dark stain-like irregularities scattered throughout.
This effect is created through natural dyes and hand-dyeing techniques, giving the pants a one-of-a-kind texture with no two pieces alike.
The fabric has a shirt-like thickness—lightweight and not too heavy.
This perfect thickness contributes to the flowing drape.
For footwear, we selected a commanding pair of derby shoes from GUIDI’s collection.
The square-toe shape offers more volume than the classic 992 or 792 models, giving strong support to the bold silhouette of the asymmetric wide pants.
The sole uses Vibram’s highly durable tank sole.
The tough, voluminous sole design adds a heavy accent to CHIAHUNG SU’s artisanal world, completing a modern and powerful mode aesthetic.
