Kota Okuda is an avant-garde jewelry and fashion brand founded by Japanese designer Kota Okuda, who holds a BA in Jewelry Design from Central Saint Martins and an MFA in Fashion Design from Parsons. Rooted in a deep fascination with American commodity culture and Marxist theory, the brand explores the nebulous concept of value through the alchemistic system of fashion. Okuda’s signature aesthetic revolves around the deconstruction and reconstruction of American currency, transforming everyday items like coins, banknotes, and credit cards into exaggerated, wearable art.
