The Jan-Jan Van Essche 'Yukkuri' collection gives new meaning to relaxed clothing. Fittingly, 'Yukkuri' means 'taking it easy' or 'slow' in Japanese.

Implications - Urban-based consumers experience fast-paced lifestyles in busy environments. These customers are seeking fashions that prioritize comfort and style, adding elements of relaxation into their day. The fashion industry can capitalize off of this need for comfort and cater to urban demographics by abandoning constrictive designs and adopting looser, more relaxed ones.
