Koki Enomoto draws creative ideas from unexpected sources. Earlier this year, during a run, he paused to rest and noticed a piece of gray netting dangling from an overpass, swaying gently in the breeze.
“I felt like I was seeing something invisible,” Enomoto explained during a visit to his showroom. “You can’t see the wind, but when the fabric moves, it shows the wind’s presence. I wondered what would happen if I used that concept in clothing.”
This observation became the foundation for his latest Attachment collection, titled ‘Lightly’. Enomoto presented it in a concrete warehouse, enhanced with a single sheer white curtain illuminated from behind. True to his approach, he began with fabric, focusing on its movement on the body. He also combined clothing categories to remove unnecessary elements, resulting in shirt-blousons and minimalistic yet comfortable tailoring.
“The goal was to find the right space between the fabric and the body, emphasizing not just lightness but also the garment’s character and silhouette when worn,” Enomoto stated. To illustrate, he displayed a simple cotton shirt shaped with a drawstring at the waist. “Oversized garments can lose structure and elegance, so we aimed for a slimmer fit,” he added.
The designs featured a more streamlined fit without being restrictive. Trucker jackets crafted from translucent cupra cotton transformed a classic workwear piece into something suitable for more than just occasional wear. Striped hooded shirts in yellow silk expanded to show bare skin, while leather blazers were so thin that their sleeves could be rolled up with ease, similar to poplin. This collection offered a sense of being fully dressed while feeling almost weightless.
