Pattern Maker and Assistance Designer at Comme Des Garcons Co.

concept title:

It's better to burn out than to fade away

Concept:

Working on a personal assumption that many people, especially in Japan, were just looking for cool, sexy and cute outfits forgetting about what in Takahiro’s opinion is real beauty, an aesthetic concept not to be taken for granted. Combining 15th century menswear, second-hand grunge t-shirts and Japanese traditional book binding, his garments reflect his personal sense of beauty, so that whoever sees his work has the opportunity to re-think about how important this simple yet fundamental concept is.
