ts(s) Looks to Americana's Fashion Tropes for SS24
Transforming classic prep looks with Italian tailoring and Japanese styling.
For Spring/Summer 2024, Takuji Suzuki’s hybrid fashion label ts(s) begins with the classic uniforms of Americana and reinvents them with Italian tailoring and Japanese styling. With a global approach to design, the brand’s latest output melds a plethora of unique pattern and textile combinations to create one defining melting pot of a wardrobe.
Much of the collection relies on American prep signatures, with a number of more formal ensembles composed of checkered overcoats, striped button-down shirts, matching dress trousers and patterned ties. But there’s a casualness that embodies another corner of the range, where oversized jackets are left slouchy; transparent cardigans timidly cover striped long-sleeves, and lightweight, wide-set trousers fall just above the ankle. Across the full range, this dichotomous mixture becomes ts(s)’s coined identity for next season.
Founded in 1999, ts(s) is known for its subtle color palette, eclectic textile pairings and code-clashing design language. Suzuki is particularly galvanized by fabrics, producing 15 to 20 exclusive original materials for his collections each season. In this latest line, the designer’s inventive textiles find camaraderie across a number of standout silhouettes — namely, the the Reversible Cardigan Shirt, the Fatigue Pants and the Asymmetric Pocket Work Shirt.
ts(s)’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection will launch in the coming months on the brand’s webstore and in its Daikanyama outpost. See the full range in the gallery above.
