ENGINEERED GARMENTS Manhattanism T-Shirt

Engineered Garments is the brand that Japanese designer Daiki Suzuki founded in the late 90s, when he moved to New York from Japan, to open the American outpost of Tokyo-based store Nepenthes—which is to this day located in the Garment District, on 38th street.

This SS16 gray tee is constructed from a soft cotton jersey while the print is a reference to the Rem Koolhaas-coined term “Manhattanism,” meant to capture Manhattan’s once unique, now globally emulated architecture & urban design style.
