Fetico is a Japanese womenswear label that emphasizes the physical silhouette through intricate tailoring and sheer textiles. The brand explores themes of female agency and body positivity, utilizing corsetry and cut-out details. Its aesthetic merges vintage-inspired construction with a contemporary, subversive approach to traditional femininity.
History
Designer Emi Funayama established Fetico in 2020 after gaining experience at Christian Dada. The brand emerged within the Tokyo fashion scene as a departure from oversized silhouettes, focusing instead on form-fitting garments. In 2022, Fetico received the JFW Next Brand Award, signaling its influence on contemporary Japanese design. The label represents a shift toward expressive, body-conscious apparel in a market historically dominated by more conservative or avant-garde deconstructionist styles.
