CREEP by Hiroshi Awai enters its tenth season with a collection that’s as memorable as the ones before it. There’s a strong outdoorsy appeal to the collection that’s mixed up with fine details and high-quality fabric choices. Amongst the offerings is a Tweed Country Jacket which features patchwork detailing throughout as well as a MA1 Type down shirt that comes in an olive green finish. The trousers deliver comfort and fit with the pieces ranging from a fleece sweatpant to pleated cord pants. Midweight outerwear is strong in Mr. Awai’s latest collection as well, with highlights including a wool blend anorak, heather sweatshirt with royal blue chest and a polar fleece zip-up jumper.

Look for CREEP by Hiroshi Awai to hit select retailers worldwide next fall.

CREEP by Hiroshi Awai is one of the industry’s most consistent labels. We’ve covered it numerous times over the past few seasons and think Mr. Awai is doing an exceptional job with the label. The designs are creative yet still very wearable and the fit is just right. For Spring 2012, we worked with CREEP to put together a look at this week’s PROJECT show. The result was tremendous — Floral print blazer with a lightweight button down in an orange shell along with white linen pants. Look for more shots from the Toronto-based designer’s Spring 2012 in the near future.

If you’re looking to keep the military movement going and don’t want to wear digi cargos or an M-51 inspired parka, then this utility shirt from CREEP might be worth considering. It’s got the dessert storm camouflage shell but it’ll work well this summer where floral and other prints are “in”.

Creep by Hiroshi Awai has been one of the most consistent brands we’ve previewed over the past few seasons and it falls primarily in the details. The precision cuts and distinct additions make the Japanese brand’s products timeless and really well made. This cotton khaki shop coat is a great example of all the things Creep by Hiroshi Awai is doing right with a 3 and 1/4 inch collar with 6 1/2 lapels, pin-stripe lined placket and two panel sleeves, the detailing is immense and all much welcomed.

It also comes with a small custom pale navy paisley and nautical themed Creep by Hiroshi Awai hankie to sweeten the detail.

We’re really digging what Creep is delivering for Fall 2011. The lineup is much more complete than seasons past and really looks to bring together an array of styles that compliment each other quite nicely. “This season they’ve borrowed some iconic heritage silhouettes, made them their own, and compiled them into a well-rounded and unified collection.” (via The Bengal Stripe)

Toronto’s Hiroshi Awai has been creative director for Osaka-based Creep since 2008. Throughout the past few years, we’ve had the opportunity to get looks of his impenetrable collections as he continues to mix Japanese design with functional American workwear. The label’s Spring 2011 lineup will be no different with its extensive selection of utility and enzyme washed work shirts.

Creep Clothing first launched in 1997 in Osaka, Japan by Kiyofumi Awai. On a limited number occassions, the label’s pieces have made their way to US shelves. In 2008, Kiyofumi’s younger brother, Hiroshi, took the reigns as Creep’s creative director. Hiroshi is taking the line in a new direction by combining innovative Japanese design with his passion for the simple beauty of functional American workwear.

The good folks at Valet have a primer on the label and its creative director. Give it a read here.
