Kiyoshi Yu Chiba x THOM BROWNE | Fantasy that is born out of silence and imagination

Dark fantasy living in silence
THOM BROWNE 2024 Fall / Winter Collection

When a crow who loses his lover and speaks words to a disturbed young man, the young man falls into madness—the THOM BROWNE's Women's and Men's 40 collection, inspired by the story poem "The Raven" published by Edgar Alan Poe in 1845. The military cashmere, hand-woven tweed, and strong shoulder tailoring coats made with embroidery of ground gold represent a large group of crows, and crows and roses are scattered in the collection look based on white and black as symbolic motifs of this season.
"When I told FACETASM's Hiroshi Ochiai about this filming, I was told," THOM BROWNE, it's surprising."
Ki Yu Chiba, dressed in a black coat with a flock of crows embroidered into the dark. Through the sleeves of the art piece that housed art and fantasy at the same time, he attracted a new aspect that was different from usual.
"I don't have much opportunity to wear a suit, but I thought it was a suit with a beautiful silhouette."

Classic American traditional
Restructuring into modern tailoring

In 2003, "TOHOM BROWNE" was launched by selling 5 suits at a small book-only shop in West Village, New York, and started a collection of men's (2003) and women's (2011). By questioning the traditional proportions, the suit, the modern uniform, has been transformed into a modern style. His clothes, made by reinterpreting the classic tailoring, symbolize high quality craftsmanship and American sensibilities.
Inspired by the preppy style of the East Coast in the United States, the classic shea soccer sports court and trouser with striped patterns worn by Ki Yu Chiba, designed ingeniously with craftsmanship, are truly a style that symbolizes the brand.
During the shooting, he looked around the store and said, "This is cute," and he picked up "Pebregrain Mini Hector Cross Body Bag", which depicts Tom Brown's dog Hector. As if you were playing with a real miniature dachsfund, you could see Chiba's smile naturally in the camera.

Classic THOM BROWNE
"Silver Office" that expresses code

Located near the entrance on the 1st floor facing Shibuya Koen-dori St., THOM BROWNE is a complex store of Men's Women's following Aoyama's flagship store in Tokyo.

You will be able to meet an item you care about to update your autumn fashion.

The sense and sensibility of Yu Chiba.
The purity that respects the moment of "now"

He continues to be creative, looking at the world from what point of view and what he is shaking his heart.

——What did you feel beautiful lately?
"It's the sea. Today, I'm on an airplane and watch a video called "The Nature somehow." It was the sea, that's it. In the sea, I went into the deep sea and said, "I'm sorry." What I dive into the sea is Hawaii, but it's not deep. I've never seen whales."

——What do you think is the appeal of fashion?
"The charm of fashion……。 I don't know the charm of fashion. But I like clothes. It doesn't mean anything like self-expression. At that time, I wear something that I like and something that is related to myself."

——Have you ever encountered a work that affects your heart?
"Recently, I've been crying in a manga called 'Steel Alchemist'. Oh, don't it. Finally, cried. I cried in comics for the first time."

——Chiba, in fact, it's very pure, isn't it?
"Is it pure? (Think for a while) Yes, pure (laughs)."

——So, what do you stimulate Chiba's sensitivity?
"It's all. It's all right now. And it's all right now."

——Do you have any unforgettable words or unforgettable views in your life?
"An unforgettable view……No, I don't know. I can't choose one. It's an unforgettable system, isn't it? It's a bit difficult. Oh, (the unforgettable word) you said, "It's pure." (laughs)."
