sulvam FW21's Simple Shapes Bely Expert Deconstruction
The Japanese brand breaks down basic patterns.
sulvam invites viewers to refine their approach to style with its Fall/Winter 2021 collection, “With clothes that walk with us.” Founder Teppei Fujita and his team stripped back the adventurous codes that informed the Japanese label’s previous outings in favor of a minimalist approach — this is minimalism only in sulvam’s own terms, of course.
Signature sulvam touches — raw hems, jagged contrast stitching and stark cut-outs — remain, but in less outré contexts, thanks to a monochrome color palette only interrupted by sharp red highlights. Boilersuits, genderless dresses, sweaters and oversized coats are designed to slip between the indoor and outdoor worlds with ease, chain-printed wool sets and baggy wool slacks toeing the line between pajama and presentable. Of course, subtly tweaked white shirting, rigid denim jeans and leather pants are all on hand for moments of contrasting sophistication.
Paris Fashion Week recently hosted Fall/Winter 2021 collections from the likes of Dior, OAMC and Études.
