Mame Kurogouchi | Floral Pattern Jacquard Washed Knitted Top・blue
Description
Crafted from a textured fabric featuring raised relief patterns, this pullover sweater showcases a delicate shade of aqua-green inspired by the designer's exploration and study of the early Imari porcelain glaze. The sky-blue fabric exhibits a gentle luster reminiscent of celadon glaze, with the embossed patterns subtly visible, resembling a variety of patterns on porcelain plates. After undergoing stone washing treatment, the fabric reveals an irregular texture reminiscent of accumulated glaze and the soft hues of early Imari ceramics. The relaxed silhouette design and full curved sleeves provide a comfortable and effortless wearing experience, allowing you to appreciate the intricate details while easily satisfying your everyday dressing needs.
Inspired by the ancient ceramic-making techniques of Japan, a visit to Arita Town in Saga Prefecture on Kyushu Island* led designer Maiko Kurogouchi to embark on an idea to "Transform porcelain into clothes." The exquisite raised floral patterns on the fabric draw inspiration from Japan's traditional ceramic engraving technique, while the motifs are inspired by the arabesque curves found on early Imari* ceramics in Japan. Through continuous research and experimentation, the designer ultimately presents the intricate embossed floral patterns on the silk fabric using a raised jacquard technique.
*Due to the stone washing process applied to the fabric, there may be slight variations in color depth and the appearance of spots, which are considered normal phenomena.
