A Meaningful Collaboration
In a heartfelt initiative blending style and educational values,
CHICSTOCKS has partnered with
Higashi Fukuoka Gakuen to create a special pair of socks commemorating the school’s 80th anniversary. This collaboration not only marks a milestone in the history of the esteemed educational institution but also reflects the progressive vision of both organizations, aspiring to create inclusive spaces while celebrating diversity.
The Concept Behind the Collaboration
The guiding principle of this project is the idea that a day's wardrobe can start with a thoughtful choice of socks, encapsulated in the phrase, "Think about your styling from the socks up." This concept resonates deeply with both CHICSTOCKS, known for creating unisex, high-quality socks suitable for all ages and backgrounds, and Higashi Fukuoka Gakuen, which recently transitioned to a coeducational system with a mission to foster students who recognize and respect diverse perspectives.
Higashi Fukuoka Gakuen believes that society increasingly requires individuals who can appreciate varied values and collaborate effectively across differences. This collaboration is a reflection of their commitment to this ideology as well, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their legacy.
Design Features: Blending Tradition with Modernity
The socks, based on a classic design model from CHICSTOCKS, feature a side stripe that incorporates the school's iconic moss green color. This color choice not only complements the school’s uniform aesthetics but also aligns perfectly with the socks’ versatility, making them suitable for students, faculty members, and guests alike, whether they are in formal attire or casual wear.
The design aims to be understated yet stylish, ensuring that it fits seamlessly into any attire, thus offering a practical wardrobe solution for various occasions.
Practical Information about the Product
The socks come in three sizes: S (22-24 cm), M (24-26 cm), and L (26-28 cm), catering to a wide range of foot sizes. The materials chosen for the socks include a blend of cotton, acrylic, polyester, nylon, and a touch of polyurethane, ensuring durability and comfort.
Produced in Japan, these socks not only represent a stylish accessory but also carry a story of community and shared values, making them perfect as keepsakes for current students and staff, or as thoughtful gifts for guests at the anniversary ceremonies.
