Travel and safari were the primary inspirations for the Engineered Garments Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Head designer Daiki Suzuki drew influence from the 1996 film The English Patient and garments inspired by the British military style. From this, Director Gaku developed a concept for a short film that combined elements of the British LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) and paid tribute to catalog images from 70s and 80s outdoor brands.
