** matohu_KEICHO KOSODE **

The AUTUMN WINTER 2008 Collection by “matohu,” under the season theme of “KEICHO KOSODE,” which is a kimono style that came into popularity by around the end of Keicho Period (1596-1615), expresses rich beauty that can be felt only by touching and wearing.
ELTTOB TEP ISSEY MIYAKE will introduce it from August 7 (Thu), especially focusing on “nagagi,” which is provided with a wide variety of patterns and materials.

* Orange Dobby Pattern Nagagi * (R)
Rayon yarn woven in a sedate orange wool fabric used for this “nagagi” glitters like fine ripples on a water surface. / ¥157,500

This “nagagi” is made of jacquard knit fabric with soft and warm textures and has a colorful cloud pattern. Wool lace is used for the liner. / ¥115,500 (some brooches are sold separately)

In addition to the existing products for women, a product lineup for men has been newly added to the NAOKI TAKIZAWA brand, which has a thoroughly unique taste even in the expression of materials and textures. There are also hats by “cœur ripe,” which are neatly hand-made and can be used for both formal and casual occasions, and men’s shoes by HORCEMAN JOE LEATHERS. Enjoy a wide variety of styles at ELTTOB TEP ISSEY MIYAKE, where you can find even more satisfying lineups of men’s products.

** NAOKI TAKIZAWA **

* SHAPE MEMORY COAT * (L)
Basic line coats by NAOKI TAKIZAWA with a powerful water-shedding finish are wrinkle-resistant with the material’s permanent-shape nature. / ¥126,000

* WOOL SAXONY * (R)
The soft touch and unique glossy surface is unique to this product. / ¥81,900 (jacket) / ¥39,900 (pants)

* 80/-BROADCLOTH * (R)
The fabric is washed before sewn, which gives a unique finish that is very soft to one’s skin. / ¥24,150

** HORCEMAN JOE LEATHERS **

* WING TIP * (L)
The first low shoes by HORCEMAN JOE LEATHERS B.M. The shoes have an orthodox design without deviating from tradition, while shaping the wooden mold slightly more narrow. / ¥81,900

* JODHPUR BOOTS * (M)
A single sheet of leather rising up from toe to ankle makes this product unique. The curve is sharper compared to regular Jodhpur boots that also use a single sheet of leather, so it fits more snugly to one’s foot and exhibits a slender style. / ¥86,100

* WORKING BOOTS * (R)
The boots’ silhouette is tight at the ankle and a general forward inclination. This design, which makes the heel appear larger, represents the image of a running horse. / ¥97,350

Try this western hat made from 100% rabbit skin with a classical suit style. / ¥39,900
(R)
Its shape, similar to a top hat, can be used as an accent for outfits both in casual and classic styles. / ¥35,700

** ISSEY MIYAKE PARFUMS **

“REFLETS D'UNE GOUTTE – Reflections in a Drop” 2008 Ephemeral Edition, made with the image of a drop of water on a flower petal after rain sliding down towards a water surface, has now been released.
The pure scent representing a drop showing various reflections transforms into a floral and musky aroma, and leaves a poetic scent. Ripples generated by a drop of water on the water surface are expressed like a sculpture on the package.

* REFLETS D’UNE GOUTTE *
50ml / ¥9,450
100ml / ¥13,125

** ISSEY MIYAKE WATCH **

The [TO] Series designed by Tokujin Yoshioka now has premier models: the [TO] Automatic line, which was neatly made with the fine techniques of a watchmaker.
This is the first mechanical watch of the [TO] Series, with a powerful, sculpture-like form and an emboldened design.
