About birth

 ■618 The birth of MARILYN

 

 618 MARILYN'sIt was completed in 2015. At the time, I was at the manufacturer, 35SUMMERS. I was in charge of wholesale at ANATOMICA. At this timeWhile men have core fans, ANATOMICA is currently expanding its handling in Japan, but there were no products planned for women, so it is also important for people outside the apparel industry. It was a situation where it was hardly known.

 MARILYN has been invented for more than a year before its release. A project for jeans for women has been progressing between Pierre, the representative of Paris at ANATOMICA, and Teramoto, the representative of 35SUMMERS.

 The silhouette that was originally intended to aim for was the LEVI's 701 jeans that Marilyn Monroe liked to wear. He thoroughly researched the jeans of the LEVI'S 701 from VINTAGE, owned by Teramoto, and after developing the fabric, he made many changes to the patterns to see how to create a beautiful silhouette, and finally completed the process. It was 618 MARILYN.

 Now618 MARILYN is a masterpiece by ANATOMICA women, but it can be counted at the exhibition when it first released.It was the number of orders. However, the following year it doubled, and then several times more, and it spread throughout the world.

 The trigger was that actress Ayase Haruka wore it in the drama and spread it in magazines and social media. As mentioned above, it is a high-quality denim that has been created over time since its conception, and once it was recognized, it has been an incredible speed, and is a huge hit product number that continues to sell even now, almost five years after its release. I did.

■618 The birth of MARILYN 2

 

 A little after the release of MARILYN, we're embarking on the next jeans.While MARILYN was the source of LEVI's, he next focused on the VINTAGE of LEE, who was around the same age as the other day, and created a model called MARILYN2.

These pants are also deep-rising pants, but the hems around the thighs are different, and the details on the back pockets follow LEE.

About the shape

■618 MARILYN Shape

 The waist position is the highest position at the waist, and from there it is a beautiful rounded silhouette facing downwards. It creates a feminine, rounded hips. The rise is very deep and there is plenty of room around the buttocks, making it easy to wear regardless of your body type.

 

 ■618 MARILYN 2 shape

While MARILYN has a beautiful, feminine, rounded silhouette, MARILYN2 has a more refined, more mature silhouette. The deep rise makes it easy to wear and the hips look slender, making it look longer.

 

How to choose sizes 1 and 2

MARILYN1 and 2 have a different waist position due to differences in rise depth. Therefore, choosing the same size would be perfect, in many cases it may not be the case. Previous feature articles have included a size chart and details on how to choose a size, so please refer to it if you are happy to read it. →Size and size selection for the MARILYN series

 

Regarding the need for fabric and hemming

 ■MARILYN fabric and the need for hemming

Soft pink ears denim material that perfectly reproduces the 100% cotton fabric from the time. It is 11 oz thick, slightly thinner than regular jeans, creating softness and ease of wear. As you wear it, the waist tends to grow by about 1cm, so we recommend choosing a size that is slightly tighter than the right size.

 The length is set to be longer, but many people don't cut it and wear it rolled up. As mentioned above, the fabric is thin and soft, so the hem does not get stiff even after rolling it up 2-3 times.
If you find that 1 or 2 rolls are good, I think it's a good idea to cut and adjust it.

 ■MARILYN2 fabric and the need for hemming

Like MARILYN, it is made of 100% cotton, but this one is made of 13.5 oz of Japanese fabric.MARILYN (Marilyn 1)Compared to this, it has a thicker texture and is more like American jeans.

 Similarly, the length is set to be longer, and the fabric is slightly thicker, so in many cases it is rolled up or hemmed once or twice.MARILYN2The hem is narrow, so I think it would be better to hem up and give it a cleaner and more beautiful silhouette.

Coordination example

■ Examples of coordination for MARILYN 1

Height: 164cm. 2 rolls up. Pair it with a short VINTAGE blouse and Porseri ballet shoes for a feminine look.

Height: 164cm. 2 rolls up. Pair it with a Rocky Mountain Featherbed vest. Easy to move with Birken.

 Height: 164cm. 2 rolls up.It's cute when paired with sneakers.

Since it is denim, it is extremely easy to match with other items. By tucking in or pairing it with a short top, the beautiful silhouette from the waist stands out.

 The thick, rounded silhouette and wide hem make it seem like many people will pair it with sneakers without heels.

Marilyn 2 has a narrow hem, so you can wear it in addition to sneakers, but also with heeled shoes and leather shoes to make it look cool.

Height: 164cm. The hem is cut. Match with a down coat from Rocky Mountain Featherbed. Wearing leather shoes, it looks neat and stylish.

Height: 164cm. The hem is cut.Pair it with a city swagger coat for a mature look.
