Historia mody
Yukio Yamai founded Snow Peak in 1958 in Niigata, Japan, initially focusing on mountaineering equipment. The brand evolved under Tohru Yamai to include camping gear before launching its apparel line in 2014 under Lisa Yamai. Snow Peak is significant for pioneering the Gorpcore movement, which integrates technical outdoor gear into high fashion. It established a precedent for Japanese functionalism, influencing global trends by prioritizing longevity and material innovation over seasonal fashion cycles.
