Japanese lifestyle label 417 BY EDIFICE introduces its new collection for the Fall/Winter 2018 season and it boasts a strong sense of French-informed styles. The traditional European looks are contrasted by contemporary cues that elevate the seasonal apparel in a casual approach. The label looks to four elements when constructing the latest collection -- "marine, military, work, and sport." All four subareas ensure that it highlights a playful sense of youth culture.
There is also a sense of a naturistic influence through the outerwear options including the cashmere-blended coat, sherpa fleece jacket, parkas, and the down jackets. To reference traditional French stylings even further, there are fabric materials such as tweed, wool, corduroy, and cashmere used to construct tailored items.
