Collection Theme: "RISE ABOVE"

FORSOMEONE is an apparel brand by costume producer Satoshi Ogawa, who has designed costumes for "EXILE" and "Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE."

This emerging apparel brand, which officially launched in Fall/Winter 2018, carries the meaning of "for someone" in its name. Its appeal lies in its genderless silhouettes and items that are both sporty and comfortable, yet also possess an elegant quality.

The theme for the Spring/Summer 2019 collection is "RISE ABOVE." Ogawa proposes to sublimate archives inspired by street culture since the 90s, which he himself experienced, into a more luxurious direction.


The collection features items created from various perspectives, including pieces made with imported leather, combinations of functional and natural materials, and artwork produced in collaboration with collage artist Kosuke Kawamura.
