Today, we would like to introduce a styling featuring items from the 25-26AW collection by ISO, available at both FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi) and FASCINATE KYOTO (Kyoto Kawaramachi).

An ISO Cotton Cashmere Hoodie infused with the spirit of The Viridi-anne and DEVOA

The cotton cashmere pullover hoodie from ISO combines simplicity with distinctive and original design elements.

By using different knitting patterns for the front, back, and sleeves, the piece achieves a depth of expression even in a solid color, creating a strong visual accent.

The high neck and hood are constructed as separate parts, creating a three-dimensional focal point at the neckline when worn. The neck can cover the mouth like a mask, while the compactly designed hood, when pulled over, functions like a face mask.

This balaclava-inspired design recalls past approaches seen in collections by The Viridi-anne.

Functional, military-derived details are reinterpreted here with a relaxed air, translated into a product that carries “a slightly loosened atmosphere.” In this, one can feel the unique design sensibility of designer Okaniwa.

The cuffs also feature thumbholes, a design detail often seen in pieces by The Viridi-anne—sure to be a welcome element for longtime fans.

On the other hand, the sleeve knit incorporates mesh material for breathability, a technique frequently employed by DEVOA’s Nishida to elevate material properties into functional beauty.

Okaniwa’s iconic detailing and Nishida’s material expertise coexist harmoniously in this single piece, realized as both functional and design-driven. Layer upon layer of these details transforms a simple pullover into something truly special.

The overall silhouette strikes a balance between relaxation and refinement.

A wider body provides comfort, while clean arm lines prevent a bulky appearance, resulting in a well-balanced silhouette.

It works not only as a standalone top but also as a layering piece under jackets and coats, expanding styling possibilities.

Additionally, the asymmetrical hemline adds movement to the silhouette, bringing a modern touch to everyday styling.

The design delivers both reassurance in not clinging to the body and a sculptural, three-dimensional form—truly a unique silhouette.

The piece is crafted from premium cotton cashmere, offering a soft and supple feel against the skin.

An irregular fine piqué knit construction creates a dry, smooth texture. The fabric weight is perfectly balanced—not too thin, not too heavy—making it easy to regulate body temperature and ensuring a comfortable wearing experience.

Its versatile thickness makes it ideal for transitional seasons. It keeps you comfortable during warm daytime hours while providing gentle warmth in the cooler mornings and evenings.

With its casual appearance and ease of use, it is a dependable wardrobe staple that will serve you well from the beginning of autumn through the depths of winter—whether worn alone or layered.

ISO Patchwork Baggy Pants Evoking the Lineage of DUELLUM

The defining feature of these pants lies in their unique material composition: six different fabrics, including ripstop and serge, each with distinct textures and characteristics, combined in a random patchwork construction.

This design method is often seen in DUELLUM as well.

The complex interplay of materials creates a one-of-a-kind expression in every piece, radiating such presence that styling is complete even when paired with a simple top.

It’s an item that embodies a world view that cannot be conveyed with simple bottoms, and truly represents this season.

The seams and frayed nuances of the patchwork add depth and a handcrafted feel.

The overall fabric retains just enough firmness to maintain a beautiful silhouette while offering dynamic expressions in motion.

The silhouette is an extra-wide baggy cut that dramatically expands from the waist to the hem.

While its powerful lines create strong impact, the cropped length lightens the proportions, adding a modern sense of ease to styling.

Okaniwa of The Viridi-anne and Nishida of DEVOA—although echoes of their past designs can be felt, their strengths never cancel each other out.

Rather, their qualities blend seamlessly, firmly establishing ISO as a new and distinctive brand.

For fans of either designer, analyzing the product from this perspective may provide added enjoyment.

Boot-like High-cut Sneakers

For footwear, the styling pairs with high-cut sneakers from DEVOA.

Minimal yet sharp, the design emphasizes a narrow last, creating a sleek silhouette with a presence reminiscent of boots.

The upper is crafted with as few panels as possible, minimizing seams to achieve a refined, seamless look. The result is a design that balances stripped-down beauty with modern edge.

These sneakers stand out as an excellent option when you want to add polish to the lower half, and their balance makes them an ideal match for layered autumn and winter styles.

The sneakers are made from premium cow nubuck leather. The material is soft and supple while retaining thickness and durability, offering long-lasting wear that adapts beautifully to your feet over time.

A side zipper is included for easy wear and removal.

The insoles feature high cushioning, while the lining uses durable canvas to ensure comfort during long hours of wear.
