More menswear, as interpreted by Shinya Kozuka, a designer of great skill and strong personality.
From one collection to the next, the Osaka-born designer explores – deliberately in an elusive way – the subtle boundaries between expression and individuality, between defined forms and modern fluidity. We are fascinated by the painterly intuition at the heart of his work, and by the non-dogmatic vision that leads him to explore and reconcile worlds that are often far apart. The unique atmospheres of Tokyo coexist effortlessly with the functionality of workwear, hand-painted silhouettes with traditional Japanese uniforms, craftsmanship with personal sensibility. We can’t wait to discover what SHINYAKOZUKA is creating for his event in Florence next January.

My design journey began in my hometown, Osaka—seeded in London, watered in Paris, and taking shape in Tokyo. Now, Florence opens another beautiful chapter. I am deeply grateful for this new land and the great honor of being part of Pitti Immagine Uomo.
