DESIGN CONCEPT “Side-C”
Side-C is an approach to manufacturing unique to beautiful people. It is a novel attitude toward dressmaking and an idea for pattern design born from focusing on the space inside ordinary clothing that is hidden and unrecognized.
The pouch-like space between front and back is unseen by the eye, so that front and back in-between space has never been given a formal name in the long history of dressmaking. Different people call it different things, such as the area between front and back and the inside.
It is a part of clothing that people are usually unaware of and that has no presence. We envisioned using the front/back space as an integrated area and gave it the name Side-C, which is a nonexistent side of coins and records.

Giving a new twist to saddle stitching on the front and back produced an unfettered affiliation between them, so the collection can produce a complex visual presentation since the front, back, and in-between space can appear on the surface.
We focus on parts of the space between front and back that also exist outside of clothing, and based on inspiration gained from the building material, insulation, we added new function to the space between front and back in this collection that pursues novelty in Side-C for even greater universality and versatility.
By slipping the body through the space between front and back, a portion of the back augments the front. The collection expands on the development of Side-C, including the relationship between body and clothing.
Three spaces exist between front and back. To make it possible for the body to slip through all of them, the collection developed single pieces of clothing that can be worn 24 ways through new sewing methods and cutting techniques that enable individual parts to be folded back to be worn.
