Historia mody
Takeo Kikuchi founded his eponymous label in 1984 after previously co-founding the brand Bigi. The brand became a central figure in Japan’s DC Brand boom of the 1980s, which prioritized designer-led identities. Kikuchi’s work is historically significant for introducing British-inspired sartorial elements to the Japanese mass market. Throughout its history, the label has maintained a presence in major department stores, influencing the development of modern Japanese men’s professional and casual attire.
