KEIJU（KANDYTOWN）×STONE ISLAND／Dr. Martens｜ A hard-like color that is spun by masterpieces

40th Anniversary
To the top of innovative wear

This year, the brand "STONE ISLAND" from Italy celebrated its 40th anniversary. Since its founding, he has been researching and developing tech materials and functions, pursuing innovative collections. The color variation is very abundant, such as applying "garment die" for dyeing after sewing, and the Nuance kolor with exquisite color tone is a masterpiece. It is said that more than 60,000 dyeing formulations have been produced so far. The state-of-the-art technology wear is highly valued in the street scene, and KEIJU said, "I love it all the time and it's cool. I wear it both on stage and in private,” I love Stone Island.

Floating in a functional toughness
Luxury Elegance

In this season's scene, KEIJU seems to be worried about "monochrome", and on this day, I mixed it with my own clothes and styling. The blouson worn is made of durable gabagin, developed for workwear, and the fabric is water-repellent. It is made of polyester taut yarn made from recycled PET bottles and densely woven fabrics of cotton yoko yarn, and is characterized by toughness that is resistant to tear and resistant to friction and frequent washing. Bottoms chose cargo pants made of Pima cotton Supima®, which is called the finest cotton. “Almost every day, I meet someone at KANDY just eating or talking to them. In this era, I often did shopping alone, but during this time I enjoyed going to see clothes with the members for the first time in a long time. When we go with him, “Buy!” I said that this nostalgic feeling was like old and very nice." KEIJU's "KANDYTOWN" celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

Military wear
Embodiment of innovation

STONE ISLAND has released a limited camouflage collection for each season, but this season we are developing "REEF CAMO". In addition, the wear made of Tamashi-colored nylon metal fabric, which is characterized by a unique glossiness that represents the brand, uses recycled yarn, ECONYL®, and has evolved in a sustainable manner. “Stone Island has the impression that “color” and “expression” are beautiful. Do you usually feel better just by entering the store for shopping and looking at it, or it is arranged in color order like a palette, and I like that space itself."

The ultimate pursuit and aesthetics create
Stone Island's own color

Through the complex dyeing process, the ultimate pursuit of "color" and aesthetics are worn, such as giving different shades, depths, and coloring to the wear parts. KEIJU asked what color he was attracted to. "When I look back at photos and videos, I often wear orange and light blue clothes and shoes unconsciously, and I think the two colors look beautiful. Especially the light blue. Today, I was wearing a white bottom of Stone Island, and my favorite color is white. When I wear it, it feels very fresh and feels good. It is light blue that feels close to it in me. Color that expresses itself? It is very difficult (laughs) I feel like there is no color, but can I keep it dark blue?
