'Dissertation on revealing the practice' Visvim AW15 Lookbook | Tokyo (JAP) | By Lee Fleming

Founded in 2000, Japanese menswear label Visvim is the brainchild of designer Hiroki Nakamura. Having started primarily as a footwear brand Hiroki expanded his seasonal collection to include apparel. Visvim has continued to gain an international following for its mix of traditional production techniques and modern technology.

Prior to revealing the visvim Fall/Winter 2015 “Dissertation on revealing the practice” collection, Hiroki notes how an extensive amount of traveling to solicit the design tendencies for the new season inspired him. His escapades brought him to the UK, then to America’s West Coast where a direction was conceived. A non-ending jet-setting schedule saw him make subsequent stops in Paris, Seattle, Florence and finally, Florida for fabric development and finishing touches. The endless traveling offered Hiroki a comprehensive world view which can be seen in the styled selection of militaristic outerwear, casual knitwear and durable layered pieces.
