Engineered Garments SS24

The Spring Summer 2024 collection from Engineered Garments is now available at Nepenthes New York and can be accessed in-store and online at nepenthesny.com.

Designer Daiki Suzuki has crafted the Engineered Garments Spring Summer 2024 collection by reinterpreting Ivy League style, which rose to prominence in Japan in the latter half of the 20th century, extensively documented by a cadre of fashion editors, designers, and stylists who established a rigid code of dress. Drawing from his own experiences—initially embracing the conventional style and subsequently challenging its norms—Daiki offers a fresh take on Ivy League attire.

Accompanying the collection, New York-based artist and film director Manabu "Gaku" Inada has created a short film that captures the creative journey of bringing Daiki's vision to fruition.

This collection represents a personal and affectionate exploration of Ivy League style within the context of Engineered Garments, merging traditional elements with innovative approaches. It demonstrates Daiki's capacity to utilize his comprehensive understanding of fashion regulations to challenge and reshape them.
