MINUS Shaggy Ombre Ribbon Shirt DRUNK(BLUE)

This work is based on a 1920s dress shirt from designer Toru Fujimoto's personal collection, and has been reconstructed with MINUS' interpretation.

PROVOKE #4 is based on bike culture and the functional structure of good old workwear.

Is it possible to sublimate it into a new kind of dress wear by intervening in a dress shirt two elements that originally exist in different contexts?

This is a piece of clothing that most clearly reflects this attempt.

The collar eliminates the common collar and feather collar structure and rearranges the ribbon collar to reconstruct the outline of a classic dress shirt.

We have eliminated the traditional button opening and closing from the cuffs, and placed thumbholes on the line where the sleeves and cuffs transition.

Not only can you wear it as a sleeve, but by passing your fingers through the thumbhole, the expression and silhouette of the cuffs will change, creating a different feeling of wear depending on your styling.

Rather than following the existing shirt structure, we are proposing a new "sleeve opening" shape.

On the back, the ladder stitch that symbolizes MINUS is placed.

By incorporating the concept of ergonomics into the pattern making and adopting split raglan, we have pursued a modern and three-dimensional silhouette that combines sharp contours and range of motion.

The material is based on the original ombre check announced at PROVOKE #1, and uses a needle-punched textile.

During weaving, we purposely do not apply uniform tension to the threads, creating intentional distortion and fluctuation in the outline of the check.

The check, which is supposed to be regular, visually “wobbles”, creating an ambiguity and omission that is not present in a well-proportioned pattern.

Additionally, needle punching is applied to give depth to the surface layer, giving the PROVOKE #1 textile a new look. The

buttons are made of natural material made from coconut.

We do not aim only at sustainability, but also consider changes in color and texture that occur with repeated use as part of the material itself.

Different eras and cultures, dress and work, symmetry and distortion.

This is a new dresswear proposal created by blurring those boundaries.
