“Observation Records of Light” is amachi.’s title for the newly launched 2019AW collection.

The brand’s original collection will be showcased along with a series of items developed in collaboration with A&S.

The first collaboration piece is made by using a classical A&S fabric on amachi.’s model. Exclusive items which embody the harmony of two brands will be available in three models: a coat, a jacket and an innerwear.
Meeting Jacket / amachi. × A&S 
Panel Top / amachi. × A&S
In this item which amachi. considers to be the modern workwear, we used A&S’s melton fabric which is known for its delicate softness.
As the light shines on the garment, the part which reflects light will show an exquisite texture and contrast. We reproduced this scenery through cuts and fabrics. A&S original felted wool, which has an adequate thickness, is featured in this piece.
The last model is an exclusive version of amachi.’s big coat made from A&S’s Shetland wool.
Amachi.’s original collection “Collection 005 ‘Observation Records of Light’” will be available along with an installation at &SHOP in Tokyo and Kyoto. We look forward to your visit.
