History

Established in the 1990s by designer Nobuhiko Sato under the Maniac Corporation, the brand emerged from the Japanese underground fashion scene. It gained international prominence through its association with prominent rock musicians and its presence in high-end boutiques. The label is historically significant for blending traditional tailoring with deconstructed, experimental techniques. Its limited production runs and focus on hand-finished details have maintained its status as a niche, influential entity within the global avant-garde fashion landscape.
