ANTHOLOGIE 2015-16 Autumn/Winter Collection
A Debut Collection Proposing Minimalist Style
Designer Keiji Ogawa, after working as a shop staffer and in sales at Comme des Garçons, went independent. He learned garment making through self-study and made his debut this season with the brand "ANTHOLOGIE." We asked him to explain the collection, which interprets the roots of uniforms and workwear through his unique sensibility.
