1940年代半ばから1960年代半ばにかけてのアメリカは、かつてない好景気のもと、政治や経済、スポーツや文化など、あらゆる面で大きく成長しました。このおよそ20年間は、今に続く長いアメリカの歴史の中でも「黄金時代」といわれています。戦争で勝利し、国力が飛躍的に伸び、需要は高まるばかり。合理主義のもとに大量生産がシステム化され、シーンやスタイルに応じた「ユニフォーム」が新たに編集されたのも、時代の大きな特徴でした。アメリカントラディショナル、ワーク、スポーツ、ミリタリー。それぞれがもつ意味を正しく生かす、無駄のない機能をもった衣服には、普遍的な美しさがあらわれています。この4つのカテゴリは、今日に伝わるファッションのスタンダードであり、原点です。<BEAMS PLUS>は、その時代背景から生まれたディテールを正しく理解することから導き出した『現代のベーシックウェア』を提案します。
In the mid1940s to mid1960s, so called America’s "golden era", the U.S.’ national strength remarkably grew, taking advantage of the booming economy. During this era, systemized mass production eventually became the mainstream, and various uniforms were modified for more specific scenes.eventually became the mainstream, and various uniforms were modified for more specific scenes.
The fashion standard and origin of today’s basic wear comes from the categories, American traditional, work, sports and military. Universal beauty can be seen in these functional clothing that properly utilizes each significant detail. Based on the historical background of these uniforms, BEAMS+ (BEAMS PLUS) suggests modernistic basic wear with authentic details.
