Founded in 2004 by Yoshio Kubo, this Tokyo-based brand is a reflection of its designer's unique background. After graduating from Philadelphia University and training for four years with New York haute couture designer Robert Danes, Kubo returned to Japan to launch his eponymous menswear label. His experience in couture is evident in the brand’s technically complex patterns and meticulous construction, which he applies to a modern, street-inflected style. The brand’s philosophy is to encourage the wearer to reconsider the details and design of clothing, moving beyond transient trends.
