Bridge & Burn X Kiriko, a women’s and men’s collaborative capsule collection focused on classic Northwest designs made from heritage Japanese textiles, went live this week. The collaboration came about when Bridge & Burn founder Erik Prowell and Kiriko’s creator Katsu Tanaka asked each other, “What is the best of your brand?” over a round of sake. The answer to that question is a collection of highly covetable and wearable pieces, each named after a mountain in Japan. They started with trademark Bridge & Burn apparel, then incorporated more fashion-forward silhouettes and Japanese fabrics. Women’s pieces include a fully reversible cape (Aino), bomber jacket (Tengu), shirt-dress (Ena), and coveralls (Biei). Men’s pieces include a mid-weight trucker jacket (Warusawa), insulated vest (Tekari), two new button-down shirt styles (Yama and Senjo), and a relaxed fit pant (Maru). All of these styles and more are now available to purchase through both brands at their flagship brick and mortar locations and online, and if you like a little bit of party to go along with your shopping (and who the hell doesn't?) you have two opportunities to do just that. Tonight the Bridge & Burn Flagship will host, and on Friday the Kiriko Flagship will return the favor. Go to one, or both!
