BACKLASH by Isamu Katayama “The Next Native Collection” Spring Summer 2012<\/p>\n
For Spring-Summer 2012, Isamu Katamaya refers to the term “native” in terms of both “originating from a
\nplace” and “Native American”.<\/p>\n
It’s a colorful, easy-to-wear collection with tribal and rock influences.<\/p>\n
BACKLASH’s signature pieces include rider jackets colored in green, orange or red, suede shirts in tartan print or Western style, and leather tops combined with denim bottoms
\nin a variety of shapes.<\/p>\n
The famous “denim crush” has been joined by tailor-stitched jeans. Materials are lighter, threads finer, pants comfortable and elegant. <\/p>\n
The artisanal methods used to give the leather a vintage look make the pieces both cutting-edge and up-to-the-minute.<\/p>\n
“The Next Native Collection” is a mix of old themes adapted to new techniques and cuts.<\/p>\n
He focuses on a handcrafted approach to leather that makes each of his pieces unique. Each piece is a work of art with a trompe l’oeil look and a revealing feel. <\/p>\n
Here’s the collection:
