История моды
Founded in 2007 by Mikio Sakabe and Jen Fang-Shueh, the brand emerged after the duo graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. It gained significance for integrating Akihabara street style into the global fashion dialogue. Sakabe played a pivotal role in mentoring younger Japanese designers through the 'Gakko' project. The label is historically noted for its early adoption of digital culture influences and its contribution to the evolution of experimental footwear design.
