its too decomposed for me. Also, it's easily available with the closest alternatives being items within thriftstores..

I found an article they did for hintmag's shoptart in march

[FONT=Arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1] Japanese designer Shinsaku Maehama believes in that fashion chestnut: what's old is new again. Except he's talking really old. In Jewish folklore, Golem—the name of Maehama's women's and men's line—describes the raw materials used to created man. Fitting, then, that his garments are handsewn from faded materials collected from flea markets and antique shops around Paris, where he's based. A graduate of the Bunka Fashion University of Tokyo, Maehama started his career as an assistant to Kenzo Takada in 2002, where he designed uniforms for the Japanese Olympic Team, before branching out on his own just two years later. For spring, Maehama has reincarnated more decayed cottons and laces in dusty off-whites, browns and blacks, which, along with his specialty, wonky waistcoats, are available at Boutique W (5-39-3 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, +81 3 5778 3433) and Isetan in Tokyo, and Shimji in Paris (7 rue du Perche, 75003, +33 (0) 1 42 72 10 01). -Erica Crompton
