PARIS, Jun 28, 2007/ FW/ --- After delving into Kurt Cobain and the western cowboy, Tabakiro Miyashita, designing under his own label Number (N)ine, decided to dress the itinerant school boy and allowed them to hang out by the docks.

Opening with a ‘three-piece suit’ made up of rolled up trousers, a tone-on-tone vest and a coat with rounded hemline, this very casual collection caters to the ‘comfy’ loving generation who likes easy-maintenance on their clothes.

‘Easy-maintenance’ is actually used loosely here in the sense that for all intent and purposes a young man can sleep on those clothes, and then go out in the streets without changing!

It’s not the say that the men will actually sleep in them. It just means that with this collection, taking your clothes to the dry cleaners is not on the list of errands one has to do for good grooming. The clothes are literally ‘sleep and wear’ with its loose silhouette.

Miyashita also proposed skate boarding pants, which can actually be worn while engaging in that sport. Too bad that the average skateboarder will actually have to save money to buy a Number (N)ine ensemble.

That said, if a skateboarder actually wears them, he would be the edgiest guy around in the skateboarding arena.

Since Tabakiro Miyashita started showing in Paris, he had extended his market share to the more mainstream male fashionista from his cult following, which actually is the group that the designer originally catered to.

Still, as Number (N)ine became more well-known, Miyashita began to incorporate silhouettes that will appeal to a broader audience. And season after season, he has succeeding in expanding his market share with his unique look at men’s fashion.
