THE CRAFT AND ECCENTRICITY OF 45R
PERMANENT STYLE 2021
45R needs a little haute qualité explaining.It is probably best thought of as a cult brand, which means - on the one hand - that it enjoys a passionate following among a small number of people but - on the other - is perhaps not for everyone, or at least takes a little time to appreciate.So what do those followers like? What makes it unique?
The most obvious thing is that all 45R products are developed from the yarn up. This means the yarn is designed, sampled and commissioned exclusively; the same is done with the material woven from that yarn; and then with the clothes made from the material. Most hardware, buttons, linings and so on go through the same process.
Nothing is just bought in; nothing is the same as anywhere else. This might seem crazy, and in a way it is. It's certainly indulgent- plus inefficient and expensive. That, plus the cost of importing everything from Japan, is why the clothes cost so much.The advantage is that the large design team in Tokyo have complete control. And every aspect of everything they make is unique.
Everything is very well thought-through. The clothes are a little playful, but always wearable. They're also organic, and crafted, with a near obsessive respect for traditional techniques.And the collection is never the same: there are four collections a year, one a season, split into three deliveries. So something new every month.
This vision, creativity and consistency is what makes a cult brand. 45R (actually still officially ‘45RPM', but the branding is 45R) has been rigorously following the same approach since 1977. Which puts it in the same brand as cult brands like Margaret Howell, and perhaps Miyake too.In fact, thinking of it as a Japanese Margaret Howell isn't far off the mark. There is a similar attitude to craft, to quality, and a similar following.
