History
Founded in 2012 by Kei Ninomiya, a former pattern maker for Comme des Garçons, the brand operates under the mentorship of Rei Kawakubo. It holds significance for its departure from traditional sewing, often employing rivets, rings, and laser-cutting to join fabrics. This approach contributes to fashion history by redefining artisanal construction within a contemporary, monochromatic framework. The label remains a critical component of the Japanese avant-garde movement, emphasizing structural innovation over seasonal trends.
