Before the gentle explosion of premium raw denim resulted in the increased popularity of many Japanese (many dealing with reproductions of vintage cuts) brands, Evisu was a name synonymous with premium denim. As they continue forward into their 2007 Spring/Summer line, the Heritage line brings with them a legacy of good quality Evisu denim. Although those preferring less eccentric denim through the form of more subtle branding may look elsewhere, fans of the daicock can rest assured that this Levi’s-esque reminder of Evisu’s roots are still very much represented. Don’t forget to check the collection pictures after the jump!
The three sub-collections of the Heritage Collection shown here include:
Umi Yama, a very bright and graphic line. Here the daicock will evoke many metamorphical changes to represent the lush Japanese Ocean and Moutain Scenery. The jeans are definitely very bright, and possess a new spiral cut to created a layered, loose fit. The shirts are availabe in muted colors of cream, brown, white and blue to contrast with the bright graphics of sea and mountain imagery.
Teiban is a colorful selection of vintage cut jeans. Washes include dark blue, bright blue, and gold. The Daicock is very prolific and involves many different colors including bright pink, orange, green, cream and blue.
The Heritage Ladies collection is very elegant and feminine this season. Red being the signature color. The jacket features a fitted look that’s nipped at the waist and has kimono-style flaring. Jeans include straight leg, boot cuts as well as a 3/4 length crop.
