Number (N)ine Vest "NOIR" AW/06

The Autumn/Winter 2006 collection titled "NOIR" was a big shift in focus for Takahiro Miyashita. His previous collections focused on a grunge street style & was met with heavy cultural references throughout the years.  However for this collection, Miyashita shifted his focus on tailoring & construction. Each garment was met with meticulous expert detailing & presentation, each small detail is hand sewn & stitched on with nothing but the best materials. The collection was met through a veil of dark & black fabrics, hinting at the theme of darkness, garments which were presented in a rumpled manner giving the runway a horror like feeling. 

This black vest is nothing short of the representation of the meticulous details from the collection, presenting a thick & heavy material, the vest is made of a combination of 100% Wool & Silk lining.  Along with Cow Hide attached on parts of the vest, a RIRI zipper all meticulously tailored made. The vest features a sleek black silhouette with two hand stitched patches on each side symmetrically & with a leather detailed lining running along the zipper.
