Shinya Kozuka founded his eponymous label in 2015 after graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2013. The brand emerged as part of a new wave of Japanese designers blending European tailoring with avant-garde proportions. Kozuka’s work is noted for its reinterpretation of industrial uniforms and its focus on the physical space between the garment and the body. It represents a shift in contemporary menswear toward fluid, deconstructed forms.
