You guys, I'm totally in love with pajama dressing right now and have been all about silk separates since the SS12 D&G show. Finding the right pieces of the ultimate in evening wear to bring into the light of day is hard, though. Aside from the vintage ladyrobe I had cut into a sweaterjacket last year (seen here), pajama dressing has been too tricky for its own good - I can't just put on a Snuggie and call it a day! Smart layering must be involved, and the right accessories. Cue this editorial from Hypebeast's inaugural print edition, titled simply, Nonchalant. Dream team stylist Akio Hasegawa and photographer Seishi Shirakawa's signature moody, seemingly candid images create a compelling story.
The duo's work, seen internationally in Japanese magazines such as Popeye and stateside in Monocle, regularly features a partially obscured or in motion subject, subtly (but definitely) exuding louche sophistication with a hint of mystery. Their hero is equal parts everyman and gentleman - always polished, never prissy. It's also really hard to find examples of their work online, since they don't contribute to too many glossies. If you're in NYC, I suggest popping into Kinokuniya and checking it out in print for yourself!
