[Interview] ALMOSTBLACK's Shunta Nakajima and Masaki Kawase | Two seekers of perfection pursue a navy that is as close to black as possible.

Almostblack was founded in 2015 by designers Shunta Nakajima and Masaki Kawase, who, under the concept of "POST JAPONISM," express "something new and strong" by fusing Japanese aesthetics with global culture. The brand name is derived from "kachie" (a deep indigo color that looks almost black), which dates back to the kachie worn by military officers in the Heian period and later became associated with "victory" and was considered a lucky charm. The brand develops collections that aim to create "kachie clothing" that evokes the Japanese spirit, drawing inspiration from this concept.

For the Spring/Summer 2018 collection, themed "PLASTIC.", the collection focuses on Katsue Kitazono, a poet who used words like materials for painting to create poetry, produced wordless poems by photographing objects, and continued to produce the magazine "VOU" alone until his death at the age of 76 in 1978. Inspired by "PLASTIC POEM," a "device for poetry" that does not require rhythm or meaning, the collection features many zippers, with garments whose silhouette balance and volume change depending on whether they are opened or closed. It is a collection that makes you feel the joy of fashion all over again.
