KUON
KUON
Designer: Shinichiro Ishibashi
After graduating from Bunka Fashion College, he apprenticed at a tailor in Marunouchi, Tokyo, and then worked as a pattern maker for a Paris Collection brand. Since 2014, he has worked freelance, designing and creating patterns for numerous brands. In 2016, he launched his collection as KUON.
"New things grow old, but beautiful things remain beautiful forever."
The name "KUON" comes from the Japanese word for "eternity," signifying "a distant past or future" or "forever."
While incorporating the history and culture of vintage clothing and textiles found around the world, the brand is not confined by these boundaries. Its essence is to pursue a simple, undeniable coolness that remains unchanged through the ages.
KUON as envisioned by Matsugami, owner of Koromonoya
The brand is not "Japanese traditional wear," but rather "Western clothing" that incorporates Japanese elements. Flat patterns are subtly used, and garments with three-dimensional and beautiful pattern work are offered.
They propose products that skillfully incorporate fabrics beloved across generations, such as sashiko and boro.
