The Wardrobe of Legends

I love a good, simple idea. Cohérence is a new Japanese label that’s reintroducing classic outerwear worn by previous generations’ style icons, artists, and intellectuals. Think: less Steve McQueen and Cary Grant; more Marcel Duchamp and Albert Camus. 

The designer behind the company, Kentaro Nakagomi, draws a lot of inspiration from the kind of things that got me into tailored clothing in the first place. He’s less about regions – say, American vs. British style – and more about cultural movements. “I love Dada and Surrealism, jazz music, writers connected to the Lost Generation, and New Wave cinema. Along with the art and culture, there were also the clothes – the heavier fabrics and fuller silhouettes. They were classic, but also modern at the same time.” 

Cohérence isn’t about strictly reproducing the past, but it’s more than just vaguely inspired by it. The coat designed after Le Corbusier, for example, features the same lapel and raglan sleeve details seen in an old photo of the Swiss-French architect. Similarly, a photo of Jean-Paul Sartre inspired the shearling-trimmed, shawl-collar coat seen below (except, whereas Sartre wore a single-breasted model, Nakagomi designed his to be double-breasted – an improvement, I think).

Christian Kimber just launched his new collaboration with Eidos Napoli and the pieces are pretty damned good. That pair of suede/waxed canvas boots with the zippers (3rd photo from the top) is nothing short of stunning. There’s also a nicely curated collection of Eidos Napoli menswear as well (a washed cotton fieldcoat, a brown henley and a belted cardigan).

The theme of this collection is Robert Capa, the wartime photographer who was also quite the dresser and all-round dude outside of war.
