Designer Taiga Takahashi launched his namesake label in NYC in 2017. Before that, Takahashi attended the London International School of Art and Design, eventually graduating from Central Saint Martins while working as a design assistant for fashion houses in Antwerp and London.
Takahashi began collecting true vintage clothing from 70-100 years ago, during his teen years, through overseas antiques and art dealers. Through his collection, he formed the ethos of the label “unearthing archaeological remains of the future by reviving relics of the past.”
In 2021, Takahashi moved all operations to JP. Unfortunately, in the spring of 2022, he suddenly passed away due to a fatal cardiac arrhythmia. The brand continues to thrive, with his team producing collections domestically in JP and expanding upon Takahashi’s ethos by creating art and photography installations from his collections.
For A/W ’24, the collection features wide-legged trousers paired with jackets and sweaters, creating a relaxed yet structured look. The loose, comfortable fit is a key characteristic, evoking a sense of vintage workwear or early 20th-century styles. The color palette is a dominant mix of black, grey, and perhaps dark browns, largely enhancing the label’s timeless and understated feel.
