At Dice and Dice, we will hold a pop-up store for the unisex fashion brand "OVERCOAT" based in New York. During the event, the full lineup of the 2021 Fall/Winter collection will be available, along with exclusive pop-up products for sale. Additionally, designer Ryuhei Oomaru will visit Dice and Dice, conducting face-to-face sales at the store for three days starting from the first day (scheduled for 4/23~4/25).
As a commemorative gift for the pop-up store, we will also have a special Dice custom eco-bag made for this event. Customers who purchase over ¥100,000 during the event will receive one as a gift. Speaking of Ryuhei Oomaru, the designer of "OVERCOAT", he is also known as the tailor of the suit chosen by Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President, for her campaign during the recent U.S. presidential election. The 2021 Spring/Summer collection is a collaboration with world-renowned art director Peter Miles, combining Peter Miles' vibrant graphics with the patterns pursued by OVERCOAT, making it a talked-about innovative collection.
We sincerely look forward to your visit.

〈Brand Profile〉OVERCOAT
OVERCOAT is a brand that started with the concept of "Wearing New York" by designer Ryuhei Oomaru. Initially established as a unisex brand under the name THE GREATEST OVERCOATS PROJECT by oomaru seisakusho, it focused solely on coats. After several seasons, it has now expanded to produce total looks including jackets, pants, shirts, and scarves. In New York, "oomaru seisakusho" also offers custom orders by appointment. The pattern features a unique shoulder line. While being ready-to-wear, it creates a beautiful silhouette that fits the wearer like haute couture. The design proposes a borderless approach that transcends size, gender, and age. The materials are developed in collaboration with manufacturers boasting the highest quality in the world, depending on the season. By reproducing old uniforms and military clothing or applying unique post-processing, it always proposes updated items.
