"胸ポケのお洒落テク" -挿して華やか、開けば「可愛い♪」なポケットチーフを発見した！

​

リングヂャケットの秋冬展示会に行ったとき、テーブルにさりげなく、これらのポケットチーフが置いてあった。 

「あれ、これはもしや！　Mr.SLOWBOYのイラストですか？」と企画担当の奥野さんに尋ねると......。 

「分かりますか～？　スローボーイさんのファンだったので、インスタでDM送ったら、リングヂャケットのファンでもあるよということで、描いてもらえることになったんです！」とのこと。 

いやはや、SNSを通じて会ったことのない人にもお仕事の依頼ができるとは凄い時代だ。 Read more

Wang uses pencil and watercolor on paper to create vivid depictions of style he appreciates (mostly men’s) and some specific personalities you may recognize. His art is deceptively simple and sneakily sophisticated–with just a few lines he really captures silhouettes and character. Read more

 

 

The Ivy Style

 

What, Me Hurry? An Interview With Menswear Illustrator Mr. Slowboy

 

Over the years, one of the recurring themes at Ivy Style has been the lost art of menswear illustration.

I have been interested in menswear since I was in college, and my focus shifted from street style to classic menswear and workwear. Read more
