Number (N)ineクローズ


Hint Fashion magazineのblogに報じられたところによると、
ナンバーナインが09秋冬のコレクションを最後にクローズするとのこと。

デザイナーの宮下氏がグループを離れ、ブランドは12年の歴史に終止符を打つようだ。

理由には触れられていないが、宮下氏の洋服作りに対する独特な姿勢や美学みたいなものの複雑さは従来伝えられることがあったが、そのあたりに起因するのだろうか。

Today we received a letter (an actual letter, so you know it's serious) from Number (N)ine. It started with this quote: "When you're finished changing, you're finished." You guessed it: the Tokyo-based, Paris-showing men's label launched 12 years ago by Takahiro Miyashita is closing. 

The fall '09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last.  Miyashita will exit the group, which has already begun disbanding, and "the brand as we know it will come to an end. " The letter goes on to say "Over the last decade, Number (N)ine evolved, always forging ahead with a unique and potent vision, to emerge as one of the leading brands of Japan. " We agree with the sentiment. Number (N)ine will be missed.
