Research protocol
What gets captured.
The trip is more than places. Each stop is a chance to capture the reasoning behind garments: what is measured, what is felt, what is corrected and what remains judgment.
02 / BODY
Measurement logic
What is measured, inferred, asymmetrical or posture-dependent.
03 / PATTERN
Draft + correction
Sloper, ease, balance, dart placement, sleeve pitch, rise.
04 / BUILD
Construction
Seams, reinforcement, interfacing, pressing, closures, finishing.
05 / RETAIL
Quality language
Presentation, material disclosure, pricing, merchandising, education.
06 / JUDGMENT
The invisible layer
Every visual or tactile decision the maker makes without measuring.
City chapters
Three different Tokyos.
The journey moves between raw material, refined retail and Japanese design culture. Each district becomes a different chapter in the research rather than another shopping stop.
