ARTIST PROOF / FRGMT × nonnative
MA-1 “Innovaten”

Last year’s release of the ARTIST PROOF / FRGMT × nonnative “TROOPER PUFF BLOUSON” sold out in an instant. Now, the highly sought-after collaboration returns with a fresh update.

The theme for this second collaboration is “Innovaten.”
Some may have already noticed that this isn’t just typography.
“Innovaten” is an anagram of “nonnative,” a playful rearrangement that sparks a new point of view.
It’s a quiet yet unmistakable gesture of Hiroshi Fujiwara’s wit — a word layered with both intention and subtle humor.

The front features a minimal tonal ARTIST PROOF logo, while the back proudly displays the bold “Innovaten” print.
Once you understand the anagram, the entire design reads differently. That shift — a hidden discovery only noticeable to those who look closely — is part of the charm.

The root word “Innovate” doesn’t merely mean to create something new; it speaks to a stance of constant renewal.
It reflects nonnative’s ongoing approach to updating everyday wear, and FRGMT’s long-standing pursuit of presenting new interpretations. In that sense, the word captures the ethos of both brands in a single stroke.

The base garment is the familiar TROOPER PUFF BLOUSON, crafted in a refined nylon twill with a light feel, equipped with WINDSTOPPER from nonnative.
This season introduces a new color, OLIVE, adding yet another reason to enjoy the dilemma of choosing a shade.

A piece whose meaning deepens once you understand the word across the back. A fitting, special way to close out 2025.
