「待ってました！」という方も多いハズ。ファッション業界はもちろん、出版業界にも衝撃を与えた弊誌のWEB連動企画、「ザ･ブラックセンス･マーケッ ト」が今季も登場。新規銘柄の参入も含め、22ものブランドが一堂に介して本誌の為だけの「黒」アイテムを制作していただいた。殆どが既存には無い、型か ら起こしたアイテムというのがポイント。WEBサイトも要チェック！

The latest instalment of the BLACK SENSE MARKET opens for business soon and has one of the biggest collections we have seen so far. 22 different brands have been brought in for this seasons run. Big names such as mastermind JAPAN and SOPHNET. stand alongside the less well known outside of Japan brands such as Attachment. Each label has produced at least one piece of exclusive clothing for the market. A noticeable absentee this time around is visvim, but ROAR makes a re-appearance as well as the ever present BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS. All the items fit nicely into the Fall/Winter category, with jackets, knit hats and long pants available. All the items will be available only from the BLACK SENSE MARKET webstore at 8pm Japan time on July 11.

— A Family Brand

'Tender LOVIN' Care'

The newest brand to come out from Porter Classic is the KICHIZO brand that goes back to its roots as craftsman and to design and develop products with great attention to detail and style. It was established by Mr. Katsuyuki Yoshida,the man formerly in charge of Yoshida Kaban company whom also happens to be the son of Mr. Kichizo Yoshida,the original founder of Yoshida Kaban company early in the last century. KICHIZO was established after Mr. Yoshida has left Yoshida Kaban and the name of the brand was taken from his father’s name in order to stress the craftsmanship of the Yoshida fam. Of course Japanese men’s fashion magazine SENSE is aware of the up and coming KICHIZO brand and they have invited them for THE BLACK SENSE MARKET collection. There are three elaborately crafted bags included in their collection, which are unique and unlike other bags they had produced in the past. Each of these items are ready for pre-order until the September 10 and will only be made to order, so be quick.
