Inspiration Collection

Fashion has stronger attributes of “escape” than “power to face“.
Fashion has the power to keep us away from problems and nakedness.
And that is its strength.

Rather than stating that we are following sustainable and social issues in our efforts to reconstruct used clothing or to make clothes through non-mass production, I would like to tell you something.

In an age when individuals are losing their focus on the individual, I want to convey the message, “Play, have fun, and laugh,” believing that this is where the strength and vitality of the energy resides. This is because that is what has the power to stop someone who is about to die, or to stop the spark of a conflict.

The theme of the collection is PLAY YOUR SOUL.

We want to leave a message to you, our contemporaries, to play with your life, your daily life, and your soul.

And one day, when you yourself lose your way, this collection theme and concept will light your way like the North Star.

Concept:

What should fashion (the guise of free will) be like now that the year 2022, the year of chaos, is slowly overtaking our daily lives?

Play rather than conflict.
Coexistence rather than rejection.

Fashion is not about competing with or rejecting others, nor is it a promotional piece of clothing that masquerades as a solution to a social problem.

Clothes that are shaped and made to bring back the childlike and playful spirit that is in everyone’s heart.
Clothes that affirm play.
I thought it was necessary to create such clothes by using second-hand materials that were considered unwanted by someone sometime ago, and using “blue” as a key color with a relaxing effect.

From the batter’s box named “the heavy present place,” I launched a home run and ran to the first base named “the future.
I incorporated such a motion into the runway format.

What do you do when you hit a home run?

You can run, you can walk, you can smile.
You can be a little shy or act like it’s normal.

We want you to look like that when you walk around in the clothes you love, not just our clothes.
