WK.P-02"Flexible Armor"
Flexible Armor: Redefining the Relationship between Human & City
The modern urbanite resides inconvenient cities but is never truly free from environmental challenges. Climate is one of the first and foremost challenges to tackle; whether it be the glaring sun, howling winds, rain, or air pollution, people must consider how to assemble their outfits to prepare them for the weather challenges of the day. The concept for "Flexible Armor" is a winding air duct that extends infinitely, a metaphor for the inextricable link and complex relation ship between cities and humans. Functional accessories available in the collection, such as bucket hats, arm gaiters, five-panel caps, belts, and functional socks are scattered into the concept image to redefine the relation ships between the city and the urbanite who is capable of tackling the harsh environments to coexist with the city.
Designs of Convenience Using Functional Materials
Accessories in the "Flexible Armor" collection deliver sun protection, rain protection, and breathability. The convertible and stowable functional designs utilize nylon materials, jointly developed with a Taiwanese functional fabric manufacturer, that is lightweight, tear resistant, water repellent, water permeability resistance, and has ventilation holes. The nylon material undergoes an additional creasing process for a metallic sheen. For the collection, nozzle quiz also collaborated with the R&D department of Chemtax Far East Industrial to create a pseudo-scale armor knitted belt using CORDURA® yarn, known for its resistance, and FIDLOCK® magnetic fasteners for maximum convenience. To deliver a full collection of functional accessories, socks are made from COOLMAX® yarn for ultra-cooling and functional yarns such as Skinlife® and Lycra® which can be found in previous collections as well.
