Japan's ARCHON Debuts for SS19 With Adventurous Technical Garments
Influences from youth culture and workwear alike.
ARCHON is a Tokyo-based label that seeks to elevate daily outfits to the ideal blend of fashion and function. Carefully selected fabrics and useful details inform the range, with multi-pocketed coats, boxy T-shirts and zippered shorts taking cues from sportswear and hip-hop alike.
Technical heat-sealed seams, metallic nylon shells, velcro closure and weather resistant bags designed in collaboration with MAKAVELIC appear throughout, with more convenitonal camel mac coats and collared shirts offering a more conventional counterpoint to the functional garments. Pops of color come by way of a tie-dyed hoodie and the collection’s standout piece, a bright red parka covered with straps and deep cargo pockets.
Look for the new range to premiere at select stockists include Harajuku’s NUBIAN.
