ANAABU EID: HIM & HER
March 2017
INTRODUCTION
Calmness after every thunderstorm. Stillness after every hurricane. Peace after every downpour. Silence after every gale. Conflicting elements yet they often arrive hand-in-hand, like ripples in a pond, like a chain of events. The wonders of causal nexus. The marvels of cause and effect. Cluttered yet coordinated. Chaotic yet classified. A beautiful disaster waiting to be discovered through wabi-sabi, which means "finding perfection within the imperfections of life." What is togetherness without forgiveness? And what is forgiveness, if it isn't putting aside our differences? No matter how contrary, we shall agree to disagree. No matter how unalike, we come together as one.
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
Him & Her: Eid Series by ANAABU is a continuity of the earlier unisex collection, this time incorporated with a hint of clutter and chaos. "Cluttered yet coordinated. Chaotic yet classified." The freedom to remake one distinct design into various looks to flatter different occasions. The philosophy of togetherness and diversity is preserved in creating this second series to ensure the inventiveness and versatility that ANAABU has always been known for.
While the mode of the previous campaign was basic and ordinary, this following assemblage is messy yet orderly. Though tailor-made to illustrate a sense of mayhem, ANAABU still retains its signature effortless style, understanding that every wearer want the outfit worn beyond a single time.
Inspired by Japanese culture and character, the pieces may appear simple at first glance, but with a closer view you will see detailings in terms of structure and substance. By selecting high-quality materials such as Japanese cotton and linen as fabric, ANAABU proves that comfort is key. Him & Her: Eid Series is made of 4 tops, 2 outerwears, 1 skants, 1 hakama, and 1 pants crafted in earth tones. Minimal, yes- but resilient. With strong designs, you no longer need a lot to create a lot. Functional and practical, flexible and gender-neutral.
Time to bring out that beautiful disaster in you.
