Background/Story 01
Amid the shadows of this dim chamber, a chessboard rests upon an antique desk, facing a mirror. The pieces lie scattered, as though a careless sleeve had swept them into disarray. She leans toward the mirror, her gaze locking with her own reflection, ready to become her own opponent. As she extends her hand to move the Queen, her fingertips breach the glass, and she follows, slipping through the looking glass into a realm beyond.

Background/Story 02
The collection “Looking Through The Glass” is named after the story of “Alice Through the Looking-Glass” by Lewis Carroll. This is the third and last series of our collection inspired by the novel. An imaginary scene is visualized based on the original story and re-arranged to the new title of “Looking Through the Glass”.

Detail 01
Ribbons
Ribbons are one of the signatures of Alice. Unlike the previous seasons, they are carefully studied and inspired by Japanese pattern cutting techniques to create the voluminous silhouette. Hidden front pockets are constructed with the excess volume of the ribbons.

Flocking floral fabric
The signature fabric of the season is in-house designed and customized in Japan. It is later then washed to create the creased effect.

Detail 03
Misplacing buttons
Twisting and misplacing button detail is the highlight of n24. Buttons are placed in multi directions so the garment will drape and stretch around the body when it is buttoned up.

Detail 04
Mirrored Letterings
Echoing the theme of “Looking Through the Glass”, mirrored letterings are patched stitched onto the skirt. The correct direction can be seen when looking through the mirror.

Tailoring
Tailoring is once again studied throughout the collection. A fusion of classic tailoring and reimagined techniques weave through n24, showcasing the artisanal and innovative vision of the team.
“One & Only” is a new project alongside the collection. Vintage garments are carefully sourced and deconstructed, which are then reworked and retailored with the expertise of our team. Each piece is made to be “ One & Only”, creating garments that are personal and unique.
