Koki Enomoto is pioneering the minimalist movement. To some, less is more is a trend that’s been and gone, while in the designer’s home of Tokyo, the ability to hide complexity within simplicity is still rife. It’s this approach that defines Enomoto’s label Attachment, and for Spring 2024, it looks towards the sky.
When Enomoto ended his Fall 2023 show at Japan’s National Stadium, the designer looked up to see the sky curving around the stadium’s roof. He took a picture of this, and it reminded him of the works by Ellsworth Kelly. The stark contrast between nature and manufactured scenarios, metal and sky, hard and soft, and of course minimalism at its core has gone on to permeate Spring 2024’s menswear offering, and its influences are evidenced throughout.
For example, kimono-esque sans-lapel blazers are clasped by a chrome fastener, bringing a tactile and man-made edge to the otherwise loose, relaxed, comfortable silhouette of this two-piece. It’s enhanced, and contrasted at the same time, by beautifully tailored trousers that sort of billow from the waist down.
Those two design details — chrome and ease — come together time and time again. The former acts as a brooch on another blazer, while the soft shapes are applied to a clean white boiler suit, tailored with a short dart collar, large pocket, focused central placket, and an elongated waist belt.
Co-ords create a sense of uniform, with sky blue shirts and shorts (with their underlining peaking out beneath for a textural contrast) also sporting the chrome clip. Kilt-like shorts pleat and envelop the leg, while softly rounded necklines add a sense of tradition and simultaneous modernity to various ensembles.
Combined, Attachment Spring 2024 is a masterful display of making minimalism stand out. Take a look at the collection in the lookbook above.
