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.
Director Gaku contributed graffiti print artwork to this collection. In the film, his work appeared in his Brooklyn studio, where he hand-draws, prints, and spray-paints his pieces.
