03 “Not Designed But Engineered”
Engineered Garments’ brand designer Daiki Suzuki used the phrase “Not designed but engineered” to describe the brand.
A summary tells the soul of the brand. He treats fashion as a construction project and designs each piece of clothing with a rigorous attitude. Let us see the romantic part of this fashion circle, “Straight Man in Science and Technology.”
Suzuki’s design is influenced by the American style, but it is not a simple reproduction of classic American clothing, but it is deconstructed and reconstructed through visual and clothing design concepts. Therefore, we can find from the design of EG that under the rough American style, it adheres to the Japanese people’s persistent and exquisite attention to materials, layout, and details.
Taking into account the traditional American tailoring neat, wide shoulder line, worn on the body will inevitably be a bit awkward, pressed stature, Suzuki original clothing type of amplifier has been adjusted, at the same time to retain the traditional American fabric thick rough mad sense, He will choose a cooperative factory in New York, to continue the rough, imperfect soul of the American clothing tradition.
From the more combined cutting methods, the application and matching of fabric textures, and the color harmony, Suzuki has long formed his uniquely American style. What is expressed is not a traditional design, but practical ingenuity.
In this era surrounded by fast fashion and traffic artists, the Engineered Garments brand has consistently implemented the “American style in the eyes of Japanese designers.” Let us see more than just the appearance of clothing, but also the style of insisting on self.
