Toga Virilis

The aesthetic emphasizes heavy metal hardware, vintage-inspired leatherwork, and a subcultural ethos rooted in mid-century rockabilly and contemporary street style.
ประวัติศาสตร์แฟชั่น
Yasuko Furuta founded the parent brand Toga in Tokyo in 1997 after studying at Esmod Paris. The menswear division, Toga Virilis, emerged in 2011 to expand Furuta’s vision of gender-fluid and culturally hybrid garments. The brand gained international recognition for its distinct use of silver conchos and ornamental buckles. It represents a significant bridge between Japanese design sensibilities and global vintage subcultures, influencing the integration of Western motifs into high-fashion contexts.
