Toga
Toga is a Japanese fashion label characterized by a fusion of Western vintage elements and traditional Japanese silhouettes.

The brand represents a non-conformist ethos, blending avant-garde design with subcultural influences to create distinct garments.
Fashion History
Yasuko Furuta founded Toga in Tokyo in 1997 after studying at Esmod Paris. The brand gained international recognition for its unique integration of Americana motifs with high-fashion construction. In 2005, Toga began presenting collections in Paris before moving to London Fashion Week. It occupies a significant place in contemporary Japanese fashion history for bridging the gap between niche independent labels and global luxury markets through its distinct visual language and material experimentation.
