＜raspail＞ Wool striped knit

This striped knit is from "raspail," a brand directed by Mie Kadowaki, whom Naoko Okusa admires. It uses "fine merino," a material characterized by its fine yarn and soft texture. The white part is made wide to give a cool, masculine impression without being unfashionable. This striped pattern is easy for adults to wear.

Although it has a clean silhouette, it does not widen the body line, and shows off the silhouette of the upper body beautifully. The sleeve length is set long, so if you wear it under a shirt or hoodie and show the stripes from your hands, it will be an accent of your outfit. Although it is 100% wool, it can be hand washed and is easy to use daily.

Launched by stylist Naoko Okusa in AW 2024, the brand is like a magazine's 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 full of surprises and joy in 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.

"Raspail" is the name of a town in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, south of the Seine River, that is colored by old streets from the Middle Ages and modern architecture. This brand develops clothes inspired by the scenery of this town, which has been loved by many artists. They take another look at clothes that seem a bit old-fashioned and forgotten in today's world, and create clothes with a modern twist, with the hope that today's women will enjoy them.
