Throughout Hirofumi Kiyonaga's three brands, FCRB (FC Real Bristol) is perhaps the most casual of his three offerings. The football inspired collection does well in combining a casual football culture with more refined pieces in a truly diverse collection. Aside from technical releases involving fabrics competent for active use, the collection also features items such as chinos and blazers. While it's often difficult to combine an athletic aesthetic into a more fashionable product, FCRB in our minds have achieved a great balance. The unveiling of their S/S collection is also something innovative and fun, utilizing toy dolls and miniature versions of the products as displays with blow-up shots of the products.
