Announcement of “DENIM DEPOT UNIVERSE,” a limited capsule collection by “FACETASM,” led by Hiromichi Ochiai, and Amsterdam-based denim brand “G-STAR RAW.” Stills and a PR movie, with total direction by C.O.L.O / COSMIC LAB, have been unveiled. By wearing clothing, humans have challenged harsh environments such as outer space and the ocean floor, gaining freedom and creativity. Under this theme, scenes were created that seamlessly connect everyday life with adventures to unknown places. The filming location was the “Misono Universe Building,” a venue that has been ahead of its time since the 1950s. Inspired by NASA archives, the denim designs and the one-of-a-kind space of the Misono Building resonated with each other, giving rise to a new creation.
