TOMORROWLAND LAUNCHES IN THE U.S. AND U.K. WITH ITS FALL/WINTER 2014 COLLECTION

New York, NY, August 28, 2014 – After a much-anticipated arrival, Mr. Hiroyuki Sasaki’s Japanese-based fashion powerhouse TOMORROWLAND arrives stateside and across the pond in the U.K. as it debuts its Fall/Winter 2014 collection for men.

Mr. Sasaki is thrilled to finally introduce the brand to the U.S. and the U.K., a development he’s been aiming for since the brand’s inception. “It’s been three decades since we started TOMORROWLAND,” he says. “Our goal has always been to be an international company, and this season felt like the perfect time to expand to New York and London.”

TOMORROWLAND was introduced by Mr. Sasaki in 1978, and since its launch, the brand has grown into a firm which now plans, manufactures, sells its own women’s and men’s apparel and accessories brands in Japan, while also partnering with key brands such as Acne Studios, Dries Van Noten, GOLDEN GOOSE DELUXE BRAND, Isabel Marant, JEANPAULKNOTT, James Perse and UMIT BENAN.

For its own collections, TOMORROWLAND utilizes high quality materials from Europe and Japan. The brand also creates its own fabrics and unique textures by using traditional production methods, such as Kiryu Orimono (homespun tweed technique), which is only available by the skilled craftsmen they collaborate with in Japan. These distinct features set TOMORROWLAND in a league of its own, both in aesthetic and quality design.

For its latest men’s collection, the brand was inspired by classic British style, combined with cutting-edge materials and treatments only available in Japan. “We included TOMORROWLAND’s signature knit jackets, which are extremely light and constructed with our unique fabric, an exclusive to our brand,” says Mr. Daisuke Nakajo, Men’s Director.

The Fall/Winter 2014 collection for men is exclusively available at Barneys New York and Mr Porter in the U.S., as well as Selfridges and Mr Porter in the U.K.

Classics with a Twist: Indochino Launches Heritage Collection for Fall 2014

August 1, 2014 - Vancouver, BC - Indochino, the leader in custom menswear, is introducing its Heritage Collection for Fall 2014, a selection of carefully curated garments inspired by the sophisticated styles of the mid-twentieth century. Featuring classic pieces reimagined through vivid colors and textured fabrics, the new collection will help modern men update their wardrobe for the cooler autumnal season from August 1.

The color palette for fall focuses on blue-indigo and charcoal in suit wear, with on-trend hunter green, burgundy and deep plum hues adding warmth in shirts and accessories. Patterns range from conservative pinstripes to bolder checks, stripes and diamonds. For fabrics, luxury blends have been added for this season, with cashmere used in suits and sports jackets and cotton-wool and cotton-silk blends in the shirts.

Comprised of suits, separates, shirts and accessories, each item in the collection can be paired with complementing pieces from the suite or styled separately. Suits start at $449 and shirts from $79 with customization options include lining, lapel width, pocket style and monogramming.

The new collection is available online at www.indochino.com and in store at Indochino’s showrooms in Toronto and Vancouver from today. To view the Lookbook, visit www.indochino.com/collection/fall/lookbook.


Quotations

The Heritage Collection is the first head-to-toe set from fashion veteran Tom Kearnan, Indochino’s Director of Merchandising:

“For fall, we have taken classic heritage pieces and given them a modern day twist. This translates into beautiful herringbone suits in this season’s indigo or charcoal, authentically woven hunter green micro check shirts and fabulous ties with contrasting patterns on the tips and tails.

“There are endless ways to style this collection. Pair a three piece suit with a crisp white shirt for a classic work look, then remove the jacket and add a bowtie when it’s time to play. Stay casual with a premium sports coat worn over a complementary patterned shirt and jeans. Or mix and match our separate pants, shirts and jackets for seemingly infinite possibilities.”
