    It's a five-piece capsule designed by a former team member. Altieri sold the name.

        No. It's Jun Hashimoto and his brand is/was called wjk.

            Where is this intel coming from? I was also told it was Issei Fujita who designed the capsule.

              Several people told me but I am not sure anymore since the information is so confusing. Guess trusting the gossip like I have done is a bad idea.

I would have guessed 2005 or later. Any Italian SZ'ers who could help translate some of the comments, especially around 3:10? The only part I understood was when they are talking about the use of natural cochineal dye for the grey fabric around 1:55. I believe I have those very same pants and I had no idea about how that look was achieved, so it was quite insightful.
                I'm a bit late, but it's never too late =)
                at 3.00 she told that the black material shows better the surface details, and after she told that the wool "hair" has been drop out by needle
                At 1.30/1.55 she said that it's an heavy canvas material, where with a natural dyeing (cochineal or cattlefish)you can gain a three dimensional effect

                        so Issei Fujita from Lumen et umbra will be taking over or are there more?

                        Either way i may grab something to from the new iteration to see what its like.

                                You fucking stoners don't know anything / making shit up. Jun posts some photos from Tranoi on insta and suddenly he's working with them.

                                I've been emailing Stefano and Andrea since before they started showing this stuff and spoke at length about the project in person.

                                In terms of production, they're using the same leather supplier, leather types on offer being horse, calf and cow and the same factory as before.

                                They're still going to produce buried leather footwear (people will probably eat up that gimmick).

                                There's a design meeting happening this month that "might" have some ex-staff members, mainly focused on bringing back some of the women's footwear designs, that's all so far. As for the current stuff, you conspiracy theorists know nothing.

                                Tranoi is hell like any trade show, reeks of desperation. It was kinda sad seeing it there but, accept this for what it is. A reissue project.
