Daisuke Maki began testing his fashion designing prowess after graduating from fashion school in Tokyo. Initially, buying for a small boutique in Harajuku and then as a merchandiser for another brand. In 2013, he teamed up with a few other JP creatives and launched the now-defunct brand Salvy. As the brand director, he saw opportunities that the rest of the team either needed to see or were unprepared for. Therefore, in 2019 Daisuke-san launched Ulterior to bolster his relationships with his fabric and manufacturing partners while creating long-lasting designs that act as uniforms for the wearer.
