Engineered Garments × Roy Roger's Workwear

The meeting of Guido Biondi, creative director of Roy Roger's Workwear, and Daiki Suzuki, founder and creative director of Engineered Garments, has led to a capsule collection that combines Italian know-how with functional Japanese aesthetics, celebrating the heritage of workwear style.

“I heard that Roy Roger’s originally started out making workwear. My own roots are also based in American workwear and denim. I think just like many of us in Japan grew up seeing old American workwear as something really cool and stylish, people in Europe felt the same way.

Back then, workwear was made with the materials and details that workers actually needed — it was all about being practical and functional. I think that kind of anonymous, no-frills design is what makes it so attractive even today.

With this collaboration, I’m hoping we can create something interesting — a mix of the way we in Japan look at American workwear and denim, and the way people in Europe see it too”.

Daiki Suzuki, Nepenthes founder & Engineered Garments director
