RACING ATELIER with A&S “ESSENTIALS”

With the question, “What is truly essential?” as its starting point, ESSENTIALS emerges at the intersection of RACING ATELIER designer Leander Angerer’s structural perspective and design, and ARTS&SCIENCE’s fabrics and tailoring.

The collection consists of four pieces: outerwear, a shirt, a vest, and an inner shirt—where everyday functionality and a design stripped of excess coexist.

The collection will launch on Saturday, September 13, at &SHOP in Tokyo Aoyama and Kyoto. At the Aoyama store, the designer will be present for the first two days, hosting a semi-custom bag order event at the same time. This is a rare opportunity to experience the world of ‘clothing and tools’ born from direct dialogue with the wearer, and to engage with the designer in person. We look forward to welcoming you.

A lightweight shell designed to shield against light rain and wind. It folds compactly for effortless portability, combining simplicity with high functionality. True to RACING ATELIER’s design aesthetics, it features refined details such as aluminum cord locks and leather trims.

Made from a heavyweight fabric, this outer shirt works equally well as a shirt or a lightweight jacket. It features large pockets that can hold everyday essentials such as a notebook, camera, or mobile phone, and its roomy fit allows for layering with other pieces.

This vest makes the set suitable for four-season (or at least three-season) wear. Though T-shirt-like in shape, its padded insulation efficiently retains warmth. Designed with a focus on fit, it has a slightly slimmer silhouette compared to the other pieces.

The most summer-appropriate piece when worn alone, it functions as the base layer within the layering system. Crafted from a light and delicate fabric, it’s designed with particular attention to comfort against the skin.
