Designer: Manabu Kobayashi
Incorporation Date: 1998
Known For: Previous collections have been known to carry heavy inspiration from movies, music and overall essence of the 1960s and ’70s. Most apparent in the last collection, which featured 4-inch cuffed denim paired with a varsity jacket with leather sleeves.
This Collection: A strong military influence amongst the jackets and coats. It seems as if the background for the collection was firmly rooted in the past military uniforms from Europe and the Americas. All the while, being able to connect with the modern menswear audience by adding subtle design details and mixing fabrics. For example, the long duffle coat is a classic European coat, but with the addition of the faux fox fur, it instantly becomes more modern and fashionable overall. You can shop the collection in select stockists across Japan now.
