技術美學再進化！Goldwin 0 首個機能系列「Performance Capsule」正式登場
Goldwin 0，這個日本品牌旗下的前瞻性設計企劃，正透過最新發布的系列拓展新領域。在Nur Abbas與Goldwin實驗室（Goldwin's techlab）團隊的共同領導下，Performance Capsule 2025 春夏系列運用熱圖技術打造出一套兼具機能與吸睛的設計系統。 團隊經過嚴謹測試，精準定位身體最易受日曬及產生過多濕氣的區域，並根據這些數據，相應地規劃每件服飾的結構。這些單品乍看之下平平無奇，但近距離欣賞，其獨特的建築感便會透過各種圓形、弧線的鏤空剪裁與反光細節嶄露無遺。全系列五件單品皆採用大地色系與速乾材質製成，散發低調的未來感。 受日本越野跑豐富傳統的啟發，重新構想的 Goldwin Star Trail Pack 成為此系列的亮點，配備 26 個通風孔及便於取用的前置口袋。膠囊系列中的透氣壓縮短褲及防水抗撕裂短褲，則透過獨特的扇貝狀細節，進一步強化了越野跑主題。上身單品方面，Goldwin 0 推出短袖與長袖上衣，皆採用獨特的圓形通風系統。 Goldwin 創立於 1954 年，其對先進設計的熱衷，源於品牌長期以來在材料研究上的投入，近期系列如 Goldwin 紙纖維系列（Goldwin Paper Fiber collection）便是最佳例證，該系列結合了挺括的馬尼拉麻基底布料與光電子（KODENSHi）加工技術。透過推出 Performance Capsule 系列，品牌更進一步鞏固了其既有的創新精神。 此系列現已於Goldwin 官方網站開放選購。 相關報導 >Fred Perry 再次攜手 BEAMS 推出限定款運動外套 >Porsche x Almond Surfboards 第二回全新聯乘系列正式發佈 >率先走進 visvim 香港大坑「VISVIM ALL TOTE」期間限定店

The Innovative Architecture of Goldwin 0's Debut Performance Capsule
Goldwin 0, the Japanese brand's future-facing design project, is stretching into new territory with its latest launch. Debuting the Performance Capsule for SS25, the team led byNur AbbasandGoldwin's techlabused heatmapping technology to craft a functional yet eye-catching design system. The team underwent meticulous testing, identifying areas of the body most exposed to sunlight and zones that generate excess moisture. Using this data, the construction of each garment was mapped accordingly. From afar, the pieces are unsuspecting, but up close, the unique architecture of each piece becomes apparent in various circular and curvilinear cutouts and light bouncing reflectives. Fabricated in stone-hued colorways and fast-drying materials, the five pieces have a quietly futuristic sensibility. Inspired by the rich tradition of trail running in Japan, a reimagined Goldwin Star Trail Pack is the collection highlight, featuring 26 ventilation holes and front compartments for easy access. Breathable compression shorts enhance the running focus of the capsule, as well as waterproof ripstop shorts, featuring unique scalloped detail. For tops, Goldwin 0 offers short-sleeved and long-sleeved tees, boasting a unique circular ventilation system. Founded in 1954, Goldwin's affinity for advanced design finds its roots in the brand's long history of materials research, showcased in recent collections like the Goldwin Paper Fiber collection — combining a crisp abaca-based textile and KODENSHI finishes. With the introduction of the Performance Capsule, the brand only strengthens its established ethos of innovation. Shop the collection now at the officialGoldwin web store.

Goldwin's SS25 Paper Fiber Collection Is Ready to Beat the Heat
Goldwin's SS25 collection introduces an assortment of 'Paper Fiber' garments that blend ancient technology with recent textile innovations to deliver a cool, comfort-focused summer line. Marking the latest expression of the brand's recovery-focused Re-Optimum concept, the line uses a high-performance finish called KODENSHI®, and Manila hemp (abaca) fibers, known for their cooling properties. Used for shirts, jackets, trousers, and shorts, the paper yarn boasts a cool and dry touch, ideal for the hot and humid weather of the Summer. In addition to everyday essentials like neutral lounge sets, the collection also showcases elevated styles, including a brown checked shirt and a solid brown two-piece day suit. For lightweight layering, the collection also includes a beige zip-up jacket boasting a discreet Goldwin emblem near the collar. Finally, the collection is topped off with various Paper Fiber socks, the brand's first paper yarn product, touted for its dry and comfortable wear throughout the day. In its origins in the Philippines, Manila hemp has been used by Indigenous Filipinos for centuries to craft heat-friendly clothing for the archipelago's tropical climate. However, Goldwin incorporates the Pacific fiber into its future-facing designs with KODENSHI®, which embeds ultra-fine ceramic particles into fibers to absorb and reflect far-infrared radiation emitted by the human body. Developed in collaboration with Dr. Norinaga Shimizu of Osaka Prefecture University, with over 30 years of research in environmental adaptation and sleep science, the process facilitates body temperature regulation and promotes relaxation. The Goldwin SS25 Paper Fiber Collection is available now at theGoldwin Japan web storeand select retailers.
