History
Founded by designer Ami Yoshinari, the label emerged following her tenure at Yohji Yamamoto’s Y’s atelier. Yoshinari’s background in traditional Japanese pattern-making informs the brand’s architectural approach to clothing. The label gained recognition for its contribution to the contemporary darkwear movement, bridging the gap between high-fashion conceptualism and wearable art. It represents a modern evolution of the Japanese deconstructionist legacy, focusing on the physical relationship between fabric and the human form.
