Saki Nakajima x JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN/UN3D. | The AW Collection, which continues to advance fast, meets at Shibuya PARCO

We create a brand that maintains a uniqueness.
Get energy from fashion

My clothes are basically all black, Mr. Nakajima. This time, from the 21AW collection, we wear spencer jackets using wool gava from WILLIAM HALSTEAD and pants with tapered silhouettes. "I myself want to take care of universal things rather than following trends. We have a longing and respect for brands that have an unbreakable axis like JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN."

The air of the times and the feelings of designers are repeated.
Collection entitled "PROTECT"

For JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN, which has been expanding its activities mainly overseas in recent years, it was the first time in 11 years to have a runway show in Tokyo. He interprets various "prevention" from a unique perspective, such as ice hockey armor and iron-plated shoes worn by workers at construction sites, and incorporates them into every detail. The styling of the show is handled by Takahiro Miyashita, designer of "TAKAHIROMIYASHITA The Soloist." This is a special collection that focuses on the original philosophy of designer Arashi Yanagawa, while being aware of the new everyday life during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a solid space filled with attention.
Feel the world of JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN

Shibuya PARCO store has an industrial atmosphere from everywhere, such as mirrors across the wall and ceilings with exposed pipes. Nakajima-san blooms in memories with shop staff Hideaki Yasaka in an industrial mood shop. As a matter of fact, it seems that there is an unexpected connection between them. "About three years ago, I went with you in filming the magazine 'id'. At that time, I was very nervous before I joined a model office in Tokyo. But Yasaka-kun took care of me and helped me. Is it difficult to get close? I thought it was a very nice person (laughs)."

From a longing collection piece
You'll find the most popular collaboration accessories.

Every season, YOSHiKO CREATiON's accessories, which are produced in collaboration, are also developed in the world view of the collection theme "PROTECT". The structured design incorporating metal, such as necklaces combining chains of different sizes and rings reminiscent of armor, is impressive. "I like silver for accessories, but most of them wear delicate ones. I don't have many offensive designs, so it's interesting. I wanted to take on the challenge together with clothes." In addition, pay attention to the popular center zip denim and new wear created inspired by "PROTECT". Longus Leave's cut-and-sew, derived from the neckgate of women's golfwear, also serves as a mask.
