With tradition and new tech, these Japanese designers are crafting more sustainably made clothing

Originating from a Buddhist belief that every object has intrinsic value and should be utilized for its full life cycle, the credo has been threaded throughout national culture for centuries. </p><div class=”Paragraph__component BasicArticle__paragraph BasicArticle__pad” data-paragraph-id=”paragraph_BAD32ED1-46E8-1C34-0CB4-9838122986AA” readability=”49.044478527607″>”Mottainai and handmade culture is everywhere in Japan,” said Kaoru Imajo, director of Japan Fashion Week Organization, said in an email. Sake lees (the residual yeast left over from the fermentation process), he points out, has long been used as a cooking ingredient, and discarded orange peels have been reduced to fibers and turned into paper. Brands like <a href=”https://rakutenfashionweektokyo.com/en/topics/pickup/nisai/” target=”_blank”>Nisai</a>, in their Autumn-Winter 2021 collection shown at Tokyo’s <a href=”https://rakutenfashionweektokyo.com/en/” target=”_blank”>Rakuten Fashion Week</a> (pictured above), upcycle used clothing to design “one-of-a-kind” looks. Then there’s the case of boro textiles — fabrics that are often worn out, but then repurposed, patched together to create new garments.</div><p>”We have been fixing old carpets, clothes and fabric so we can use (them) as long as we could,” he said. “Now, boro textiles are traded very expensively and known as a ‘Japanese vintage fabric.'” </p><p>Today, a number of Japanese fashion labels are channeling these traditional ideas in the name of sustainability, embracing centuries-old garment production techniques and pioneering new technology to reduce waste and lessen environmental harm throughout the production process. </p><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”31.5″><div readability=”8″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210316044918-japan-sustainable-fashion-file-2015-restricted.jpg” alt=”An exhibition featuring garments made of boro textiles at The Museum of East Asian Art in 2015. “></div><p>An exhibition featuring garments made of boro textiles at The Museum of East Asian Art in 2015. <!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Brill/ullstein bild/Getty Images</span></p></div></div><p><h3>Innovation from nature </h3></p><p>At Shohei, founded by creative director Lisa Pek and CFO Shohei Yamamoto in 2016, sustainable decision-making starts with the dyeing process. Pek says the brand, which operates out of Japan and Austria, has been working with a Kyoto-based artisan to procure textiles dyed using traditional kakishibu methods.</p><p>During the kakishibu dyeing process, textiles are immersed in the fermented juice of unripe persimmon fruit — an alternative to popular synthetic dyes, which can be damaging to soil and waterways. After the dyeing process, the fabric is tanned in the sun, creating orange hues. The kakishibu dyeing process also creates a water-resistant effect when oxidized in the air, and provides antibacterial properties. “This is something you might find in a tech fabric,” Pek explained in a video call, “but it’s already there in nature.”</p><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”31.5″><div readability=”8″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210318121306-japan-sustainable-fashion-10.jpg” alt=”This Shohei garment was dyed using the traditional kakishibu method.”></div><p>This Shohei garment was dyed using the traditional kakishibu method.<!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Courtesy Shohei Collection/Stefan Reichmann</span></p></div></div><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”32.5″><div readability=”10″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210212173516-shohei-2.jpg” alt=”The brand also uses another traditional dyeing technque, called shibori, in its fabrics. “></div><p>The brand also uses another traditional dyeing technque, called shibori, in its fabrics. <!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Courtesy Shohei Collection/Yuji Fukuhara</span></p></div></div><p>Shohei also sources fabric dyed using shibori — a hand-dyeing technique that dates back to the eighth century — from a family-run business in Nagoya. Like kakishibu, shibori uses natural dyes (typically derived from indigo) and is less harmful to the environment than its synthetic counterparts.</p><p>In a similar spirit of eco-friendly production, Japanese designer Hiroaki Tanaka, founder of Studio Membrane, has been working with biodegradable protein resins derived from wool — the basis for “The Claws of Clothes,” a collection of avant garde, architectural womenswear unveiled at the 2018 Eco Fashion Week Australia in Perth. Created in collaboration with Shinji Hirai, a professor at the department of sciences and informatics at Hokkaido’s Muroran Institute of Technology, Tanaka likens the protein resin’s texture to a human fingernail, and its durable texture to plastic.</p><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”31″><div readability=”7″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210317002029-01-japan-sustainable-fashion.jpg” alt=”An image capturing the protein resin process.”></div><p>An image capturing the protein resin process.<!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Studio Membrane/Hiroaki Tanaka</span></p></div></div><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”31.5″><div readability=”8″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210212175450-studio-membrane-wool-resin.jpg” alt=”Hiroaki Tanaka of Studio Membrane used resins derived from wool as accents in his "The Claws of Clothes" collection. “></div><p>Hiroaki Tanaka of Studio Membrane used resins derived from wool as accents in his “The Claws of Clothes” collection. <!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Studio Membrane/Hiroaki Tanaka</span></p></div></div><p>”I wanted to make totally biodegradable clothes,” Tanaka said over Zoom, through a translator. “Because it’s just made of wool, it’s very (ecologically friendly).” </p><p>However, Tanaka admits that his protein resin is better suited to wearable art than everyday clothing. When the resin is wet it reverts to its usual wool form, and loses its structure. However, since wool is biodegradable, he believes the material could be used to replace certain disposable items, such as diapers, that are currently filling landfills. </p><p><h3>Using tech to combat waste </h3></p><p>As fabric choices are integral to sustainable fashion, new technology and machinery is also at the forefront of this environmental movement, decreasing the amount of fabric wasted during pattern-making, sampling and sewing. </p><p>In this arena, Japanese manufacturer Shima Seiki has set the standard with its computerized Wholegarment knitting machines. Unlike the traditional way of producing knitwear, where individual pieces are knitted then sewn together, Wholegarment items are seamlessly knitted in their entirety in a singular piece.</p><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”32″><div readability=”9″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210212174906-wholegarment-knitting-machine.jpg” alt=”With Shima Seiki’s computerized Wholegarment machine, a whole garment is knitted in a single seamless piece.”></div><p>With Shima Seiki’s computerized Wholegarment machine, a whole garment is knitted in a single seamless piece.<!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Courtesy Shima Seiki Mfg. Ltd</span></p></div></div><p>According to Masaki Karasuno, a Shima Seiki spokesperson, up to 30% of fabric is wasted in standard production, when individual pieces of pattern are cut from bolts of fabric before being sewn together. “All of that is eliminated when an entire garment can be knitted in one piece directly off the machine,” he said in a phone interview. </p><p>Wholegarment’s machinery gives brands the option to produce clothing on demand — another way to reduce industry waste. “Mass producing garments based on projected demand tends to overshoot actual demand (and is the reason) why there’s a lot of overstock… which results in waste,” Karasuno explained. “Wholegarment can produce the number of garments that are required, when they are required.” </p><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”32.5″><div readability=”10″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210317002033-03-japan-sustainable-fashion.jpg” alt=”Nisai, a brand that upcycles used and vintage clothing, shows at Tokyo’s Rakuten Fashion Week on March 15.”></div><p>Nisai, a brand that upcycles used and vintage clothing, shows at Tokyo’s Rakuten Fashion Week on March 15.<!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Japan Fashion Week Organization</span></p></div></div><div class=”BasicArticle__image BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”31.5″><div readability=”8″><div class=”Image__component”><img class=”Image__image” src=”https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/e_blur:500,q_auto:low,w_50,c_fit/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F210317002031-02-japan-sustainable-fashion.jpg” alt=”Another look from Nisai’s Autumn-Winter 2021 collection that was featured at Tokyo’s Rakuten Fashion Week. “></div><p>Another look from Nisai’s Autumn-Winter 2021 collection that was featured at Tokyo’s Rakuten Fashion Week. <!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Credit: </span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”>Japan Fashion Week Organization</span></p></div></div><p>In 2016, Fast Retailing Co., the parent company to fast fashion giant Uniqlo, started a strategic partnership with Shima Seiki called Innovation Factory, where they produce a variety of Wholegarment knits for the Uniqlo brand. Since then, Italian fashion label Max Mara and American clothing brand Paul Stuart have also turned to Shima Seiki’s Wholegarment technology. </p><p>Shima Seiki also offers a virtual sampling platform which provides realistic renderings of individual garments — alternatives to the physical samples that are produced as a collection is developed. Often, sampling is an iterative process, with factories sending new, tweaked versions of a garment until the designer is content with the final product. While the process is helpful for designers, allowing them to adjust for factors like fit, placement and quality, these prototypes often end up landfills. </p><p>”Each of those samples that gets wasted requires time, cost, material and energy to produce … and all of those are just thrown away,” Karasuno said. </p><p>Shohei has been partnering with No Form, a digital design studio, to produce realistic 3D images of some of their garments using tech similar to Shima Seiki’s virtual sampling platform. These renderings can be used in their online store in place of photos of samples. “It’s the same as when you think about architecture, where you create a model… before building it,” Pek said. “It’s also another way to be environmentally friendly and save costs.”</p><div class=”BasicArticle__video BasicArticle__padLarge” readability=”32″><p>Related video: The artisan making warrior prints for modern Japan<!– –> <span class=”BasicArticle__credit”></span><span class=”BasicArticle__credit”></span></p></div><div class=”Paragraph__component BasicArticle__paragraph BasicArticle__pad” data-paragraph-id=”paragraph_3F8C7A93-AFDD-B3E6-C87B-9838124783A7″ readability=”34.919678714859″><a href=”https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/lunar-new-year-china-fashion-waste-consumption/index.html” target=”_blank”>Christina Dean</a>, the founder and board chair of Redress, an environmental charity that aims to reduce textile waste, believes the steps taken by Japan’s fashion industry is setting a positive example for a healthier fashion ecosystem internationally. </div><p>”I think it’s very interesting how islands deal with innovation.

In a blog post posted on Wednesday, chief executive officer and founder Sebastian Schulze wrote, “This acquisition will strengthen Fit Analytics’ position as an industry leader in apparel and footwear <a href=”https://wwd.com/business-news/business-features/capgemini-supply-chain-strategies-change-1234781800/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:technology” class=”link rapid-noclick-resp”>technology</a>….Our main focus going forward will be to scale the Fit Analytics business and work with Snap to grow their shopping platform, leveraging our technology and expertise. Our teams will be jointly executing on next-gen shopping, fashion and style offerings.”</p><p>Lofty language like that is common in tech, particularly in e-commerce and especially in regard to acquisitions. But such grand visions rarely pan out the way executives promise.</p><p>But this could be one of the exceptions.</p><p>Snap is clearly committed to boosting its shopping chops — on its fourth-quarter earnings call, Jeremi Gorman, chief business officer, explained that “longer term, we’re investing in using first-party data from our platform, and providing more opportunities for on-platform conversion.”</p><p>The <a href=”https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/danielle-bernstein-leaves-macys-1234778703/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:social media” class=”link rapid-noclick-resp”>social media</a> company also has a solid track record of fusing tech experiences to shopping. The platform helped drive augmented reality’s adoption and evolution from fun novelty to serious shopping tool for beauty, furniture, eyewear and other categories. Now the beauty AR is everywhere, from dedicated brand apps and sites to Instagram, YouTube and Google search.</p><p>On <a href=”https://wwd.com/business-news/financial/aerie-american-eagle-earnings-1234762773/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:Snapchat” class=”link rapid-noclick-resp”>Snapchat</a> alone, more than 200 million users engage with AR daily. And in a recent AR try-on beta program, which included more than 30 brands across multiple verticals — from beauty to auto — people tried on products over 250 million times and were 2.4 times more likely to click to purchase than average. According to Snap, one eyewear retailer’s AR campaign drove a 3.6 percent lift in purchases, on top of a 46 percent lift in unique page views on its website.</p><p>The big question is whether Snap can do it again for fashion and shoes.</p><p>It’s already dabbled in these spaces through a range of AR partnerships, including virtual stores promoting Lego Wear and American Eagle. The latter’s virtual holiday 2020 pop-up store generated $2 million in incremental sales. That preceded AE’s new AR guide in February, which allowed consumers to rotate and view its spring 2021 jeans at different angles.</p><p>This sort of tech works because it somewhat mimics how a shopper might see product in the real world. But viewing a virtual setting or a standalone product is inherently different than the experience of physically putting it on.</p><p>When Snap worked with Gucci last summer for shoe try-ons, the visuals looked very appealing. But it was hard to know how the shoes might actually feel on a given foot. It’s even more complicated for soft goods like apparel, which may not lay on a figure the same way in real life as it would in AR.</p><p>That’s where fitting data and tech tools could come in. Snap could merely offer features that help shoppers find the right size. But given its visual orientation, it’s easy to see the company adapting its AR or virtual imaging to all this new fitting data. That would allow its AR Lenses to more accurately represent how a dress or pants might really look on a person.</p><p>The company declined to comment, so it’s not clear if it’s going to apply Fit Analytics’ tools or data this way. But the possibilities look intriguing, and the implications for fashion shopping on the platform would be significant — and that’s partly because of where Snap sees AR going in the future. And that, the company wagers, will be away from phone screens.</p><p>“Advances in technology will change this,” chief technology officer Ryan Murphy told investors earlier this year. He seemed to be hinting at the advent of tech glasses, similar to Snapchat Spectacles, but built for AR — similar to the tech touted by Apple and Facebook.</p><p>“[By] overlaying digital experiences directly in our field of view and empowering us to engage with computing the same way we do as humans, with our heads up looking out at the world in front of us,” he said, “our ability as humans to transmit ideas will improve dramatically with information and entertainment directly in our line of sight.”</p><p>Imagine AR fashion try-ons unleashed from smartphone displays and placed in something like AR glasses. In theory, a person could put on the frames and see themselves in a mirror wearing something from their favorite designer’s latest collection and feeling confident it would look like that in real life.</p><p><strong><a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org”></a></strong> <a href=”https://blockads.fivefilters.org/acceptable.html”>(Why?)</a></p>Thu, 18 Mar 2021 22:41:15 +0000 en-US text/html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/snapchat-signals-fashion-ambitions-latest-223829526.html
