Geschichte
Founded in 1999 by Kentaro Iwasaki and Takashi Kabasawa, the brand originally operated under the name balanceweardesign. It emerged during the influential Ura-Harajuku movement in Tokyo, contributing to the development of Japanese street fashion. In 2003, the label rebranded as BAL to reflect a refined focus on modern casual wear. The brand remains significant for its longevity and its role in bridging underground subcultures with high-quality garment construction within the Japanese fashion landscape.
