＜ne Quittez pas × Kanako Nishimura × MASAKAZU FURUSAWA＞ A Triple Collaboration Connecting Travel and Daily Life. Launching 3 Types of Summer Hats.

Pasand Co., Ltd. (Representative Director Mayumi Jin, 3-8-3 Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku), which operates the brand ＜ne Quittez pas＞, has announced its first collaboration hat with freelance PR Kanako Nishimura. This collection is realized as a triple collaboration, welcoming the hat brand ＜MASAKAZU FURUSAWA＞, which has haute couture techniques as its base. It will be released on May 13th (Wednesday) at all Pasand by ne Quittez pas stores.

Ms. Nishimura, who has a close relationship with ne Quittez pas and whose aesthetic eye cultivated over 20 years of PR experience, along with her refined insights into daily life and beauty, has garnered empathy and support from many women. This first collaboration, combining their aesthetics, features three types of lightweight and practical summer hats that accompany both daily life and travel, instantly upgrading any outfit just by wearing them.

"Hats, though small in area within an outfit, I believe are actually items that significantly change an impression. With just one hat, an outfit can become more polished, or conversely, gain a relaxed feel. For me, it's one of the indispensable fashion items. But precisely because I love them, when I actually look for them, there are surprisingly few 'just right' ones. They can be too sweet, too exaggerated, or not blend into daily life. That's why I thought I'd like to create my own, which was the impetus for this collaboration. What I focused on when designing was, that they could be effortlessly incorporated as an extension of everyday styling. And that they would lift my spirits a little just by wearing them. Also, in terms of functionality, I incorporated all my ideal features, such as size adjustment with an inner belt, and the ability to fix them with pins, all the things I actually thought 'I wish it could do this'." by Canako Nishimura

＜Collaboration #1 Foldable Paper Braid Hat＞ col. Grey／Pink　Tax included ¥22,000 A wide-brimmed Casablanca hat with a classic yet modern feel. The top is flattened to avoid being too sweet, and the brim curves downwards at a deep angle. Made from soft paper braid, it is foldable. The nuanced colors of dusty pink and grey, rarely seen, are also a key point.

＜Collaboration＃2 Paper Panama Hat＞ col. Ivory／Navy　Tax included ¥24,200 A resort-style hat based on a luxurious Panama hat, with a playful touch added by a double edge. The brim's edge is doubled, creating a design as if two hats are layered. Furthermore, the lower part is frayed to create a rough nuance that isn't overly neat.

＜Collaboration＃3 Paper Braid Casket＞ col. Black／Natural　Tax included ¥22,000 A stylish casquette that can be enjoyed like a cap. The height and fullness are carefully balanced to blend naturally without looking 'overdone', and the brim is designed wide to make the face appear smaller and sharper when worn. It's foldable and a perfect item for daily use for those who are not fond of caps.

A special page will be launched on the brand's official website from May 8th (Friday), the information embargo date. It will feature the thoughts put into each item and snaps of Ms. Nishimura herself wearing them for styling suggestions.
