“To be fashionable like you”
Modem design, with a theme of fashion that is not influenced by the times; we are committed to domestic production. Their design are freshness and simple.
1. The Experience:
Precision Japanese tailoring meets effortless street irony. The "The Bends" Hoodie by Modem Design is a masterclass in the "New Standard" of Japanese leisurewear. Crafted in Osaka, this piece moves away from disposable fashion, offering a heavy-duty yet remarkably soft cotton fleece. It is designed for those who value the "Ura-Harajuku" aesthetic: understated, high-quality, and rich in character.
2. The Modem Blueprint (Design & Essentials):
-
Architectural Boxy Fit: Engineered with a slightly relaxed, dropped-shoulder silhouette characteristic of modern Japanese styling. It provides a structured shape that doesn't look "baggy."
-
Heavyweight Loopback Cotton: Sourced from premium Japanese mills. This fabric is breathable for spring yet substantial enough for winter layering, designed to hold its shape for years.
-
Artisanal Screen-Print: The "The Bends" graphic uses high-density ink that is designed to age with the wearer, gaining a "vintage" patina rather than cracking.
-
Reinforced "Takumi" Construction: Double-needle tonal stitching at the stress points and high-recovery ribbed cuffs ensure this hoodie maintains its integrity wash after wash.
-
Authentic MIJ: 100% Designed and Manufactured in Japan, ensuring ethical production and superior quality control.
3. The Both Style Guide: How to Wear It
To capture that authentic Japanese Streetwear look, we suggest three ways to style this hoodie:
-
The "Osaka" Minimalist: Pair with wide-leg navy pleated trousers and clean white leather sneakers. The contrast between the casual hoodie and formal trousers is a hallmark of Japanese street style.
-
The Workwear Layer: Wear it under a Denim Chore Jacket or a Navy Shirt Jacket. Because the hoodie is structured (not floppy), it stays crisp under heavier outerwear.
-
The Weekend Transit: Match with olive cargo pants and a technical beanie. This highlights the "Functional Beauty" aspect of Modem Design, perfect for travel or city exploration.
4. The Both Selection:
-
Curated for Longevity: We selected this piece because it defies the fast-fashion cycle. It feels better the more you wear it.
-
Boutique Exclusivity: Produced in small batches in Osaka, making it a rare find outside of Japan’s premier fashion districts.
