Modegeschiedenis
Founded in 2001 by Shintaro Shinsone in Tokyo, the brand emerged from a focus on clothing designed to pair with vintage denim. It became part of the Japanese 'Neo-Ivy' movement by reinterpreting classic Western staples for women. The label operates several boutiques in Japan, including its flagship in Omotesando. Its historical role involves the integration of high-end luxury elements with the functional characteristics of traditional workwear and military garments.
