Oversized shirt (sax blue)

This is the first collection that expresses the "basic" of "NO.b." The series was designed by Mie Kadowaki, the director of "raspail," a brand that Okusa respects.

This oversized shirt was designed with an original pattern in mind, with the aim of creating a shirt that looks beautiful whether worn alone or with a jacket.

The material used is shirt fabric from ALBINI, one of the three major fabric manufacturers in Italy. ALBINI is a long-established Italian brand founded in 1876. The fabrics they make are loved around the world as the best shirt fabrics. To create a sophisticated look, they deliberately used single thread (woven into the fabric with a single thread), and paid particular attention to the lightness, drape, and movement when it flutters in the wind.

The length is just right, covering the hips and allowing the shirt to peek out from the bottom when layered with a knit or sweatshirt. Depending on the bottoms and coordination you pair it with, you can wear it tucked in or out, with the bottom showing or hiding - expanding the variety of ways to wear it.

The three-dimensional collar and the beautiful silhouette from any angle are the result of craftsmen sewing each part individually at a factory that specializes in shirts. The shirt buttons are made of 3mm thick shell buttons, giving it a luxurious feel. This is a luxurious shirt that does not tolerate any compromises.

Launched by stylist Naoko Okusa in AW 2024, the brand is like a magazine content, capturing the mood of the moment and expressing it as a new style. The brand name "NO.b" combines the initials of the publisher (director) Naoko Okusa's name, "NO", and the "b" from her favorite words, "book, beer, black, beach". The brand aims to be a brand that is full of surprises and joy "every issue", with the excitement of proposing styles that are a little ahead of the times, and the atmosphere of the times, based on the real-life experience of a busy person who spends every day. The first collection expresses the "basic" of "NO.b", and is made up of navy jackets, shirts, double-faced sets and hoodies, which Naoko Okusa has always loved.
