Louis Vuitton 2013 SS Men's Collection
They have used Japanese traditional handcraft technique, Sashiko. Actually the origin of this technique is my hometown, Akita. I used to wear the uniform which was made by Sashiko when I did Japanese traditional martial arts which is known as Kendo. The technique I had on everyday has crossed to Paris and it would spread all over the world through one of the best high-class brands, Louis Vuitton. I am badly happy and proud of my hometown, Akita.
LVの来春メンズコレクションで秋田の伝統工芸、刺し子を使ったシャツが発表された!剣道やってたときの道着、刺し子だったんだ。地元の伝統工芸、しかも身近にあって毎日のように身につけていた技術がパリに渡って世界中に広まって行く。すごく嬉しくて誇りに思う。
