VISVIM MEN'S SPRING-SUMMER 2015

Inspired by his favorite hand-embroidered vintage American pieces collected over the years, Visvim's founder and designer Hiroki Nakamura, delivers a heartfelt and personally-inspired collection for SS2015. Fascinated by the genuine handiwork of the Forties, by the allure of used garb and the images conjured of its past owners, the designer re-works these elements via labor-intensive techniques such as embroidered messages, hand-drawn sketches that serve as prints and hand-painted robes. In that same streak of genuinity, nothing quite compares to Visvim's popular signature shoe, the FBT Shaman, a tasseled flap style in supple leather or suede with a rubber sole and a distinct tribal-meets-urban feel.;
