Days spent heading to distant mountains aren't the only times you can connect with nature.
Step off your usual path to walk by the water. Take a breath in the shade of a park tree. On your days off, venture out to that trail you've been curious about. Even in the daily life of the city, there is time to enjoy the open air.
The collaboration between Monterest and Ticket To The Moon begins by focusing on these everyday moments. We wanted clothing that allows for a more natural transition between city life and the outdoors. We’ve infused that vision into both our design and styling.
From the city to nature, just as you feel
After finishing work or errands, you feel like taking a walk on your way home. On a clear weekend morning, you make plans to spend time outside.
If you can turn those small impulses directly into action, the outdoors will feel much closer than it does now.
What we valued most in this collaboration was creating pieces you’d want to wear both in the city and while enjoying nature on your own terms. We designed a style that blends into your everyday wardrobe while supporting your urge to head outdoors.
The joy of choosing clothes to match your destination, and the joy of letting your favorite clothes expand where you go—we’re bringing both into your daily life.
The concept behind "Sanyo Inryoku (Mountain Attraction) / MoonOS"
For our collaboration theme, "Sanyo Inryoku / MoonOS," we have layered a tech-inspired visual aesthetic onto motifs inspired by the scenery of West Lake and botanical illustrations.
We’ve transformed natural scenery into designs that fit urban life. Within this single worldview, we express both the sensibility of noticing nearby plants and watersides, and the curiosity to encounter something new.
We aim to create a collection that makes you feel a small connection to nature, even while you’re wearing it in the city.
Thinking about "lightness" in daily life
The lightness we envision includes the way you feel when you head out.
Being easy to pair with the clothes you already own. Being easy to imagine in different settings. Being able to enjoy your outfit even if your plans change slightly.
Whether you’re walking through the city after work, strolling while traveling, or spending time in nature on the weekend—we prioritize clothing that integrates easily into the flow of your life.
Instead of one garment handling every environment, we suggest layering according to the weather and how you’ll be spending your time. That approach to choosing your gear is also a way to enjoy the outdoors without the pressure.
Add one piece to your usual wardrobe
You can start enjoying the collaboration items by adding just one piece to your usual style.
Pair it with your favorite pants or layer it with a shirt or outer layer. Start by heading out into the city with a combination that feels like you.
On days you head into nature, gear up with the necessary wear and equipment for the weather and activities at your destination. Taking your city style as a starting point, you can adjust your outfit to suit how you plan to spend your day.
When you expand how you use your clothes, your options for your days off expand, too.
Don't wait for your next day off
Time spent walking by the water. The wind blowing through the trees. A walk home where you look up at the sky a little longer than usual.
The triggers for enjoying nature close to home are hidden in your daily routine.
Monterest × Ticket To The Moon is a collaboration designed to help you spend those moments in a style that is uniquely your own.
For starters, take your usual path just a little further.
