History
Founded by designer Shohei Kato in 2014, HEIHEI emerged from the vibrant street style scene of Tokyo's Harajuku district. The brand gained recognition for its distinctive red tartan checks and berets, becoming a central fixture in contemporary Japanese youth fashion. It serves as a bridge between traditional punk influences and the kawaii culture of the 2010s. Its presence in street photography archives documents the shifting landscape of post-Decora fashion movements.
