Modegeschiedenis
Takashi Kumagai, a prominent Japanese stylist and photographer, established WIND AND SEA in 2018. The brand evolved from Kumagai’s vintage shop and personal creative projects. It gained cultural significance through frequent collaborations with global brands and artists, bridging the gap between high fashion and street culture. Its role in fashion history is defined by the rapid rise of logo-centric apparel within the Ura-Harajuku scene, reflecting the shift toward social media-driven brand visibility.
