Koike started in 2015 when it won an international contest in Italy.

In collaboration with traditional Japanese techniques and craftsmanship, we will take on the challenge of inheriting and developing new clothing.

Specialising in women's clothing design, he handles everything from handmade one-of-a-kind collections to mass-produced items.

In addition, he is involved in planning and management outside the company's brand as a cooperating partner for corporate workshops and supervision of jointly planned products with apparel companies.

Koike. also lends outfits for dresses worn by entertainers in TV shows, movie stage greetings, and magazines.

"I'd like to appeal to people that craftsmen's handwork are irreplaceable, beautiful and should be preserved for the future. We are always challenging more potential craftsmanship".

My brand is a one-of-a-kind couture collection. Therefore, we do not make clothes that can be discarded due to mass consumption. This time I designed a wool knit. Wool is a natural fiber that returns to the soil and is an environmentally friendly material.

"We knit a vintage bangle and incorporated it into the design. I think that reusing and effectively utilising bangles will lead to sustainability".
