            Thanks for the amazing pictures. I have a pair of etp02 trousers but that suit looks like a more extreme version of the accident dye in the same Alashan cashmere? Also The patchwork trim cardigan is so storytelling.

              I was thinking the exact same when I had read the description on instagram. By the way what size ETP02 do you have?

                  Thank you Zero, Mojo and especially Zam for those very kind words. It was great to see you in Paris after the show as well, thanks so much. Keep up the great work on your side of the pond. Cheers, Geoffrey

                      'grow deep' sideshow by Yusuke Shiiki

                      .

                      Yusuke Shiiki's sideshow at 'grow deep'


                      N
                      EW side view photographs shot by Yusuke Shiiki at the phenomenal 'grow deep' GBS autumn/winter women's Paris runway presentation last week. The collection continued the ultra-advanced technical development of our classic handmade besom welt-pocket design and construction technologies from the 'secrets' men's Paris AW2017 collection presented in January. While the men's collection focused on new external forms and shapes of pocket welt designs applied to classical forms of clothing, the new women's work went in to the interior sides of the pocket not normally seen by the user as they are inside the exterior fabric and lining construction of the garments.

                      The research took the interior part of the welt pocket and brought it to the outside of the garment in full view of the user and viewer alike. Then, as if it were an organic, living organism such as a plant, flower or vine... the pockets were allowed to grow and expand far beyond normal pocket size dimensions and shapes, eventually forming the basis of the actual form and structure of the garments themselves. As a result, a delightful and beautiful new series of abstract shapes and forms were achieved... skirts that seemed as wide leg trousers but in fact were not and vice versa, for example. As in the men's collection, these amazing pieces are a testament to the continuously rising levels of the firm's extreme handmade tailoring technologies--applied in the case of both new AW2017 collections to the classic handmade welt pocket in concentrated form.

                      The fact that a real classic handmade welt pocket is already almost impossible to find anywhere today on a designer or luxury brand garment, and that, like so many of our other extreme hand clothes-making features, we find ourselves more and more alone on an island in an ocean of industrialized-corporatized-plasticized-overpriced mediocrity and incompetence; uniquely positioned with the technical know-how, skills, and creative passion to not only save the real and great art of making clothes with human hands and minds-- but rather, raise it to new heights not yet attained by any other in the history of the metier, further makes the fact that so many of the intriguing forms and shapes of the pieces in the photos are actually constructed and made from first-in-the-world abstract uses of handmade welt pockets-- all that much more incredible. Simply put, what you are looking at below... is literally pockets walking... in motion-- in all types of forms as working, wearable and uniquely beautiful garments (and yes very functional too, they are after all... pockets), that have been able to be realized and created by only one design company in the world today.

                      But this is only the beginning: as we embark on a whole new series of extreme hand technique-based Paris collections over the next 3 years that will push our people and our technology towards a whole new horizon in the history of making clothes by hand.

                      Thanks to Yusuke and everyone who has helped to get us this far,

                      cheers Geoffrey

Spearheaded by Kitahara's legendary career as a leading editor of major Japanese fashion books, Please is becoming Japan's most watched independent design publication and garnering increasing attention and support from Rei Kawakubo at CdG, GBS and other creative houses as an alternative to the country's omnipresent and overly corporate-controlled fashion media.

                              Geoffrey,

                              I finally went into the real world to handle some of your garments... wow! To be honest, I can't quite tell what I found more breathtaking, some of the outer fabrics (such as the cashmere on a blazer I tried) or the linings that went with the jackets... in particular, the iridescent lining.

                              Could you perhaps tell me a bit more about the item you called THE RAISIN? It was quite a curious piece being a very heavy fabric and being one-size, though it also fit in well with a lot of the other things I saw at Noodle Stories.

                              I, of course, also admired those buttonholes.

                                You know Geoffrey, if you need someone to test your sneakers in a real skateboarding scenario, I’d be more than willing to take them for a ride. ;)
