SNAP JUDGMENT: After five years of research and development, Japanese designer Yuima Nakazato is launching his modular ready-to-wear offering, based on his proprietary “Type-1” sewing-free assembly system that allows garments to be assembled using snap-like attachments called “dots.”
Nakazato’s rtw line, which will make its debut on the his new e-commerce platform on March 17, features a single item — a deceptively simple-looking short-sleeve T-shirt, available in black or white and three sizes. The T-shirt has been designed without any stitches using computerized 3D knitting techniques and produced using certified organic cotton. To make good on his vision of infinite possibilities accessible even to those with no sewing skills, additional elements can be attached at the neck, hem and sleeves using his snap system.
The initial offer includes 13 sleeves, nine collars, nine hems and six different “dot” fastening types. Further items are already in development and will offer flexibility in other areas such as sizing.
