Tarihçe
Established as a core brand within the Urban Research portfolio, KBF emerged during the expansion of Japanese select shop culture. It gained significance by integrating conceptual design elements into ready-to-wear collections. Historically, the brand contributed to the popularization of the "relaxed" silhouette in Tokyo, influencing contemporary Japanese casual wear through its consistent focus on architectural cuts and neutral color palettes.
