RETURNING TO A POWERFULLY MEDITATIVE EXPRESSION OF HIS DUAL PASSIONS, MUSIC AND CINEMA, TAKAHIRO MIYASHITA LAUNCHED HIS NAMESAKE LABEL IN 2010. AFTER EXPERIENCING A LOSS OF CREATIVE CONTROL AT HIS FIRST COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL VENTURE, NUMBER (N)INE, THE DESIGNER LEFT TO FULFILL A PROFOUND NEED FOR SOLE OWNERSHIP AT SOLOIST. A LYRICAL EXPLORATION OF WELL-BEING, MASCULINE IDENTITY AND SENSE OF SELF, THE ARTISTIC MENSWEAR LABEL IS DEEPLY PERSONAL. HANDCRAFTED IN JAPAN, THIS SOMBER-HUED COLLECTION IS COLORED WITH A PROFOUND LOVE OF TWO HIGHLY EXPRESSIVE MEDIUMS. THIS SEASON’S MULTILAYERED COLLECTION SHOWCASES PURPOSEFUL GRAPHICS ON LONG SLEEVE T-SHIRTS, DISTRESSED JEANS WITH EXPOSED KNEES AND OPEN-KNIT SWEATERS.
