Updating Kimono Motifs with Unique Designs
As the name suggests, these pieces are based on Japanese traditional wear, such as kimonos and haoris.
The details incorporate both, featuring a style that ties with drawstrings at the front in a symmetrical pattern and an option to wear it in a traditional kimono style by tying the drawstrings inside, allowing for both methods of wear.
The bold design, adaptable for real clothes, showcases the designer's high level of skill.
The fabric used is hemp cross, offering a perfect balance of stiffness and flexibility, resulting in beautiful draping.
Such a design, using large fabric pieces tied with strings, works exceptionally well with this type of fabric.
This piece elevates traditional Japanese elements into a unique brand item through thoughtful innovation.








Pants with Unique Details
For the bottoms, wide pants characteristic of the brand have been chosen.
They are cropped around the ninth length and tapered to create a beautifully curved silhouette.
Also, with a deep rise in a low-crotch style, they're designed for a comfortable wear while making a statement.
The fabric features stripes woven from multiple yarn types of different thicknesses, creating a complex pattern that can appear like checks from certain angles.
From the fabric to the pattern making, great care has been taken in their creation, resulting in easy pants with an elastic waist and drawstring, perfect for everyday scenes.
Experience the designer's flair with these pieces.
