The Essence of SEVESKIG: Its Philosophy and Craft Origins

At the heart of SEVESKIG lies a philosophy of creating “what’s almost unimaginable.”
This vision is rooted in subcultures that the designer holds dear—motorcycles, vintage clothing, and anime.
Fueled by an unwavering passion and respect for these influences, SEVESKIG transforms them into one-of-a-kind products through Japan’s exceptional craftsmanship. It’s a brand that delivers a tactile, emotional impact—one that can only be fully understood when experienced firsthand.

Portrait of Designer Takanori Nagano: Career, Philosophy, and Creative Origins

Takanori Nagano, the designer behind SEVESKIG, hails from Ōita Prefecture.
His fascination with creation began in childhood, assembling Gundam model kits—a passion that would later shape his distinctive design approach.
After graduating from Tokyo Mode Gakuen, he gained experience at major Japanese apparel companies such as World Co., Ltd., before launching SEVESKIG in 2013.
The brand name was inspired by his family’s architectural firm “Seven Seas Kings,” but it also reflects his unwavering commitment to expressing a unique personal worldview through leather and fabric.

Nagano seamlessly integrates elements often perceived as distant from fashion—such as anime, subculture, and motorcycles—into his creative process, resulting in truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
What sets SEVESKIG apart is that this fusion is never gimmicky. Instead, it is grounded in traditional Japanese craftsmanship and authentic artisanal techniques, harmoniously blended with contemporary culture.
At the heart of SEVESKIG philosophy lies a deep respect for the emotional impact of fashion—the belief that true value is discovered when a piece is held, worn, and personally experienced. This ethos forms the foundation of the brand’s distinctive approach to creation.

The Story of SEVESKIG: Origins and Evolution

SEVESKIG began showcasing its collections in Paris starting in 2017, gradually expanding its presence through collaborations across diverse industries including anime, art, and motorcycles.
In Fall/Winter 2018, the brand received the prestigious Tokyo New Designer Fashion Grand Prix, marking a significant milestone that elevated its reputation.
Designer Takanori Nagano's ability to translate his passion for subcultures into refined fashion pieces has earned widespread acclaim, and with each new collection, SEVESKIG continues to steadily grow its loyal fan base.

Starting with a collaboration with motorcycle brand KAWASAKI, SEVESKIG has since expanded its reach through projects with popular anime titles such as Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan Island and Satoshi Kon’s Paranoia Agent.
In the 2025-26 Autumn/Winter season, the brand announced a new collaboration with the anime film Roujin Z, illustrated by Hisashi Eguchi—demonstrating its ongoing pursuit of bold new challenges.
What truly sets SEVESKIG apart is its ability to merge culture-driven projects with an uncompromising commitment to quality as a fashion brand—earning it growing support from fans and the industry alike.

The Worldview of SEVESKIG: Concepts and Signatures

At the heart of SEVESKIG’s identity lies a dual commitment to “sustainable craftsmanship using authentic materials” and “deep respect for subcultures and pop culture.”
While the brand focuses primarily on leather items, it goes beyond simply using luxury materials—incorporating elements like domestically sourced game leather and emphasizing remake techniques to embody both ethical and sustainable values.
Its designs, rich in playfulness and storytelling, set it apart from more mode-oriented brands.

Designer Takanori Nagano’s early experiences building Gundam plastic models also leave a strong imprint on SEVESKIG creative process—from material selection to the combination of design components.
As a result, details like zippers, buttons, and patchwork feature unique arrangements that evoke a “model kit”-like sense of precision and surprise.
This highly distinctive creative vision serves as a compelling answer to the question “What is SEVESKIG?”—and stands as one of the brand’s greatest strengths.

【Buyer’s Perspective】Experiencing the Essence of SEVESKIG at the Exhibition

At a recent exhibition, we were immersed in the world of SEVESKIG—surrounded by pieces born from collaborations with motorcycle culture and iconic anime. The booth was more than a display; it was an atmospheric experience that conveyed the brand’s unique identity.
Though some buyers initially seemed hesitant, they were soon captivated by the designer’s passionate storytelling and attention to detail.
Handling the items firsthand revealed the tangible differences in leather texture and the intricate execution of collaboration prints—elements that photos alone can’t capture.
From the distinct stitching to the tactile richness of each piece, it became clear that SEVESKIG offers a level of craftsmanship we want our customers to feel directly.

In speaking with designer Takanori Nagano, we were struck by his relentless dedication to his craft and his deep desire to deliver emotional impact through his creations.
His reference to being inspired by Gundam wasn’t just a marketing hook—it echoed a genuine devotion to craftsmanship that aligns with the core philosophy of the brand.
SEVESKIG is, without a doubt, a label that brings a fresh dimension to our store’s overall worldview—one that blends cultural depth, playfulness, and artisan spirit.

2025-26AW SEVESKIG Collection “MUJOU”: Exploring the Central Theme

The 2025-26 Autumn/Winter collection by SEVESKIG draws inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic concept of “mujou”—the impermanence of all things.
This theme reflects an embrace of nature’s constant state of flux, interpreting it through fashion with a perspective that is uniquely SEVESKIG.
Blending the joy of “assembly,” inspired by the designer’s lifelong fascination with Gundam model kits, with traditional Japanese sensibilities such as transience and delicacy, the brand channels this into its design philosophy. Elements like rusted metal, moss-covered stone pavements, and weathered textures are celebrated, reflecting the deepening character that comes with time—mirroring how people themselves gain individuality and depth over the years.
This approach introduces traditional Japanese concepts such as wabi-sabi and iki into contemporary fashion.

For example, a standout item from the collection is a rider’s jacket crafted using yakuha (burnished foil) made in Ine, Kyoto.
The surface is layered with silver foil and scorched with sulfur to bring out a unique texture—expressing the changing face of materials through a distinctly Japanese technique.
Just as a Gundam model is completed through the process of assembling parts, SEVESKIG garments are designed to evolve with the wearer over time—embracing change and finding beauty in the process.

Collection Highlights: Key Silhouettes, Materials, and Color Palette

The overall silhouette for the collection embraces a relaxed, layered fit—particularly in outerwear and tops.
This design approach respects the diversity of modern lifestyles and individuality, allowing wearers to enjoy “freedom in styling.”

In terms of materials, the collection showcases remarkable techniques, including the aforementioned burnished foil leather, semi-handwoven wool tweed, and souvenir jackets featuring graphics expressed through pinhole embroidery. These distinctive textures and finishes enrich the collection with visual and tactile intrigue.
The color palette is anchored in silver and black, with strategically placed accents of deep red and blue. These pops of color introduce a playful, anime-inspired sensibility and a subtle high-tech feel, further enhancing the collection’s unique aesthetic.
The harmonious fusion of traditional craftsmanship and subculture elements reinforces what makes SEVESKIG so distinct—its unshakable, boundary-pushing identity.

Highlights and Key Trends in the Upcoming Collection

This season’s SEVESKIG collection offers a masterful blend of “tradition × subculture × mode.”
Of particular note is the collaboration with Hisashi Eguchi’s anime film Roujin Z—a standout piece with strong visual appeal and high value as fan art.
Another highlight is the winter sandal collaboration with “SUBU,” which balances comfort and insulation with playful, humorous design.
It’s an item that’s likely to appeal to a wide range of customers for both its practicality and character.

The collection embraces materials that evolve over time, along with deliberate distressing techniques.　This underlines the concept that “the garment’s current state isn’t the final form—it changes and gains character through wear.”
Not only are the pieces functional fashion items, but they also stand as compelling works of art, likely to resonate with both longtime fans and those newly discovering SEVESKIG.
For those seriously seeking a “one-of-a-kind piece” for the fall and winter season, this collection is a strong recommendation.
