UMichael Bastian Uchithe ixesha elininzi eTokyo kunyaka ophelileyo. “Kudala ndicinga ngeJapan,” utshilo umyili kwisitudiyo sakhe seWest Side Highway kusuku ngaphambi kokuba aye kumgaqo weenqwelo-moya. Ngokukodwa ngakumbi, wayecinga malunga nendlela amadoda aseJapan-ingakumbi, abahleli kunye nabathengi abahamba kwi-tradeshow eyaziwayo yaseFlorence uPitti Uomo-bathatha i-Italian, isiNgesi, kunye ne-American design references kwelinye inqanaba. “Batsalwa kweyona nkcubeko ibalaseleyo kwaye bayenza ibukeke ngcono,” utshilo. "Iqela laseJapan liyayibethelela."
Ngoko, ngelixa i-Fall 2014 yayininzi kakhulu malunga "ne-American luxury" ye-Bastian-nangona, xa kungenjalo?-wayejonge ezo ngcamango nge-lens yaseJapan. “Reverse Take Ivy,” watsho, ebhekisa kwincwadi yeefoto zabafundi be-Ivy League nguTeruyoshi Hayashida. UBastian wayefuna ukuba iintloko eziya eJapan zibenobuqili. Ngokubanzi, babengekho, kodwa oko akuzange kuphazamise. Ijezi eneziphu yezemidlalo eneNtaba iFuji eluniwe ngasemva kunye ne-windbreaker eyenziwe ngelaphu lekimono elihonjiswe linamba inokuba yeyokoqobo, kodwa zazikwayinto nje enye yeenkwenkwezi zesitalato sasePitti ezinokunxiba. Njengoko yayiyi-turtleneck ye-burgundy eyathatha iintsuku ezingamashumi amathathu ukuba ihlanganiswe ngesandla kunye ne-bead. I-Fair Isle inxalenye yejezi yenziwe ngeengqekembe ze-150 zaseJapan ze-Edo-period, amaso e-aventurine ali-140, amaso e-jade angamashumi asibhozo, kunye namanye amaqhekeza amancinane angaphezu kwama-600. Umtsalane wengqokelela wawukwiinkcukacha, nokuba yayiyi-grosgrain ye-orenji eyayinxibelelanisa i-seams yeeperesi ze-slippers eziyilwe ngokubambisana ne-Stubbs & Wootton, i-ribhoni encinci eyenziwe ngelaphu le-kimono elifakwe kwi-lapel ye-blazers, okanye i-monster ephefumla umlilo ithungelwe kwijezi ye-cashmere.
