Julius | Representing humans (=beasts) surviving in modern society

Julius's Fall/Winter 2016 collection, themed around "the ferocity of beasts," reinterprets the fur, skin, scales, and hooves of various animals in a modern way. The "cutting leather" jackets, with sharp cuts on the surface of the leather and the fibers raised, evoke the raised skin of an animal camouflaged in mist. Furthermore, the jackets, tops, and pants, adorned with countless duralumin "plates," stand out with their striking presence, evoking the image of hardened scales developed during the process of evolution, with meticulous attention paid to the texture and expression of each individual item.

Overall, the collection features a color palette centered around Julius's signature black, with grays and browns representing hardened and yellowed skin. In terms of styling, the collection prominently features layered styles that emphasize contrasting details, such as combinations of leggings with shorts and outfits with unusually voluminous necklines.


The collection also includes sneakers featuring sharp, angular lines that represent evolved hooves. The striking contrast between the volume that holds the ankle and the sharpness towards the toe is a key detail, achieved by applying various treatments to the microfiber and calf leather used for the upper, creating a richly textured and updated look through the combination of different materials. The sole is also thicker, prioritizing practicality.

Nils | Continuing a powerful style specializing in minimalist streetwear

The Fall/Winter 2016 collection, themed "PILLARS," continues the minimalist yet powerful style. The main graphic, which is always a highlight each season, features a fantastical and abstract motif of sun pillars and clouds superimposed, expressed through inkjet printing. This motif is incorporated into geometric patterns, spherical silhouettes, and extremely oversized A-line tops, proposing a collection that specializes in "minimal street" style.

Furthermore, CLAUSTRUM, with whom Nils has collaborated since his debut, has co-produced an original USB necklace containing original visual and audio content, resulting in a lineup that strongly asserts Nils's worldview, which encompasses not only fashion but also music and culture.
