In 1993, this line emerged from research into materials other than denim and garment construction. It was developed using high-performance materials and guided by the idea of using “materials for the city in sportswear, or sports materials in citywear.” In contrast to the parent brand, which centers on denim, it focused on technical garments spanning urban life and sportswear, and had a role distinct from the later ski and outerwear line ACTLIVE.
