armi ar070149 SEED CYCLE × WhERE is FAKE × MISAKI USHIOZU CAPSULE COLLECTION RUST DYED FLAT-SEAM TEE

Rust leaves traces of time.
"Rust dyeing" captures the process of iron decaying,
By stacking logwood,
This creates deep, rich colors and textures.
The body is constructed with flat seams,
It conforms to the body like a single piece of fabric, providing a stress-free and comfortable fit.
The 10.7oz heavy-weight fabric is
It possesses both a strong presence and a texture that softens and changes with each wear.
No two things are exactly alike.
It was no coincidence,
The traces left by nature and time.
Not weathering away, but a form of regeneration.

Where is FAKE
An art gallery themed around "salvage & trans," reinterpreting overlooked elements and questioning the boundaries of value.

MISAKI USHIOZU
Based in Hokuto City, this dye artist uses natural materials and time to express the traces of life through dyeing.

1. CAPSULE COLLECTION
Circulating clothing. A re-editing of values. Dyeing through nature and time. Through the intersection of different domains, clothing is born that embodies "time," "life," and "circulation."

2. DYEING
Rust dyeing captures the essence of time. Hand-dyed by MISAKI USHIOZU, each piece develops a unique character in harmony with nature. Logwood is a natural dye also used in the Mayan civilization. Its deep color imprints a quiet depth onto the fabric. Forest materials and rust intertwine, creating more complex "layers of time." Each piece is unique, bearing its own distinct traces. *Color and pattern may vary from piece to piece. *Features the characteristic texture of rust dyeing.

3. SILHOUETTE
A standard silhouette stripped of excessive design. Designed to naturally follow the body while leaving just the right amount of room. A balance that makes it a complete piece on its own and intended to be worn for a long time. "A shape designed to remain unchanged."

4. FABRIC
This plating jersey fabric is made from cotton grown on SEED CYCLE's own farm and knitted with original yarn. It is heavy-ounce yet supple. The garment is garment-washed to prevent deformation and provides durability for long-lasting use.

5. Construction
Flat seam construction minimizes seam irregularities, resulting in a seamless, one-piece feel. It doesn't feel bulky when layered, and its appearance changes further depending on the layering. A structure that combines design and comfort.

6. SEED CYCLE
From seeds to clothing, and back to the soil. SEED CYCLE is a project designed with the concept of circularity in mind. Without the idea of waste, everything is connected to the next stage. This garment, too, is part of that cycle.

Layers of time, drawn by logwood and rust.
Logwood and rust paint layers of time.
No two traces are exactly alike.
A one-of-a-kind photograph imbued with the memories of the forest.
