This time, I would like to introduce you to our main brand, ANATOMICA, along with Rocky Mountain Featherbed.
Many of you who read this article know that ANATOMICA is a shop in Paris, France, and that the owner is Pierre Fournier, so until today. I would like to follow the trajectory in order.
Also, I would like to write about why ANATOMICA is a French brand but there are so many American products, who the owner, Mr. Piel Furnier, is, and the background behind it.
Let's start with the introduction of all the creators, Pierre Fournier.
About Pierre Fournier
Pierre Fournier, the founder of ANATOMICA, was born in 1944 in Savoie, France. 76 years old.
We launched GLOBE in 1975, HEMISPHERE in 1979, and ANATOMICA in 1994. The characteristics of each shop will be described later, but all of them are legendary shops, and the legend who launched one after another the shops that fascinate the world is Mr. Pierre Fournier.
I first met Pierre Fournier at a store in Paris about eight years ago. When I was in my twenties at the time, I remember being shocked to find such a gentleman and cool person.
GLOBE, which can be said to be the beginning of modern select shops, and Alden's modified last, which is so popular, created an opportunity to spread to the fashion market for the first time with the traditional Chimayo village blanket that was distributed as a blanket at that time. It was also Pierre Furnier who suggested that we want to make it the best type.
The style that has left various achievements in the fashion industry and still stands in the store and serves customers is the legend itself.

What is GLOBE?
Pierre Fournier will open GLOBE in the Paris-Real district in 1975. This shop is a pioneer of modern select shops, and although it was in Paris at that time, its product lineup was amazing.
From American super famous jeans such as Levi's and Lee, military goods and dead stock items of each country, THE NORTH FACE (The North Face), Hanes (Hanes), etc. are now commonplace It's well known, but if you think that these were in a store in Paris 40 years ago, you'll find that they were really exciting.
It seems that the store was the first in Europe to shrink the above US brand jeans by the American washing method and sell them in the store.
At GLOBE, there are pictures of women wearing military stuff. I was impressed with the idea that women wear military items as fashion in this era.

The poster of GLOBE at that time. The brands we handle are very nice.
In addition, at this GLOBE, our signature brand Rocky Mountain Featherbed was also purchased and sold.
What a coincidence, no one could have imagined at this time that they would be making ANATOMICA with 35SUMMERS, which holds the trademark right for Rocky Mountain Featherbed.
Young Pierre Fournier is wearing a Rocky Mountain Featherbed GORE-TEX jacket.
What is HEMISPHERE?
Time has passed, 1979. HEMISPHERE will open on Avenue de la Grande Arme in Paris. Jean-Sébastien, who was active as Saint Laurent's number three at the time, noticed Pierre Fournier's buying sense, teamed up, and opened the store.
HEMISPHERE is a store that has had a great influence on Japanese fashion today, and has also opened in Roppongi, Japan.
The Japanese shop was run by Ryuichi Nakamura, who has a close relationship with Pierre Fournier, as a buyer. After that, Mr. Nakamura stood in the store during the ANATOMICA in-shop era on the 2nd floor of UNITED ARROWS, and even when the Nihonbashi store opened, he stood in the store as a signboard staff, and is known as a major figure in the Japanese apparel industry. ..
HEMISPHERE means the Northern Hemisphere in French, and as the name suggests, we have a wide variety of clothing from the United States to Europe for sale.
From cowboy boots, Fisherman's sweaters, LEMMERMAYER cardigans, Ortega vests, Chester Barrie suits, Lolo Piana mufflers, Alden leather shoes to railroad socks, we have a great selection of products from all over the world. It was a well-known store that can be said to be a model for select shops.
However, it closed in 1993 due to the death of partner Jean Sebastian.

What is ANATOMICA?
1994, the year after the closing of HEMISPHERE. Pierre Fournier will open ANATOMICA in the Marais district of Paris, France. At the same time, we will start manufacturing as the ANATOMICA brand.
The reason behind this is that the number of products whose quality has dropped sharply due to overseas production and simplification of processes has increased, and what can be said to be genuine from the perspective of Mr. Pierre Fournier is disappearing from the world. From that, I decided to produce all my own collections in my home country, France, and started manufacturing.

The collection is based on the history and traditions of European men's fashion, as well as his own commitment to "fitness" and is in line with the structure and movement of the human body.
It was truly an "anatomical" work, faithfully reproducing the characteristics of traditional work clothes and military uniforms.
The collaboration with Kinji Teramoto, the representative of 35SUMMERS, which started in 2008, will add a new direction to ANATOMICA.
That is the birth of American taste garment by Japanese manufacturing that passed through the filters of two people. From the American taste of the 1960s that these two people like, US / NAVY related works, British traditional raglan coat, sneakers WAKOUWA positioned as a sports line, ladies' Marilyn, and so on. It became the current ANATOMICA.
