JFW-JC LEATHER CREATION

The special-basic style by Japan leather

One of the highlights of the JFW-JC 2016 fair is a special area at the lobby gallery (B1F) showcasing an upcoming Japan leather exhibition, entitled <JFW-JC Leather Creation>.

‘Actual trends favour simple styles influenced by “normcore” or a “recurrence to classics” mood, hence the focus on leather as a key player for its presence, feature, and naturally expressive nature.’ With this concept in mind, the essence of leather materials gathered from representative leather-producing regions; Tokyo, Hyogo and Wakayama, will all be on show.  Exhibits include: Tokyo leather pigskin, which is nowadays exported to European top-brand maisons, leather made in Himeji, with the world-acclaimed unique white-tanning technique, indigo-dyed leather, sportive stretch leather, water-repellent leather, and extra-thin leather, alongside uniquely shaped leather featuring original mesh material, and a specific cutting method… all representing Japan’s <leather tanning and treatment>. 

Also in the spotlight is the <PIGGY’S SPECIAL> fashion show, featuring Tokyo leather Pigskin, created by <MIKIO SAKABE> and a young, emerging creator representing Tokyo; <Tokyo New Age>.
