A California Brand Championing "Global Citizenship"
APOLIS
APOLIS, founded in California, centers on the theme of creating global employment opportunities as "global citizens." The brand has undertaken various initiatives, such as developing products utilizing the skills of artisans in developing countries and increasing local employment. Consumers can engage in social contribution by purchasing the brand's products, making it a topic of conversation among style-conscious celebrities.

A military-inspired hooded coat made of 100% cotton. The hood's edge contains wire, allowing for adjustable shaping.

An M-65-style jacket made of cotton fabric. The packable hood is made of nylon, creating a textural contrast within the design.
JOURNAL STANDARD has been curating APOLIS since 2009, and JOURNAL STANDARD Omotesando has been actively promoting it, even hosting pop-up shops. While the brand's offerings previously leaned towards a basic American casual aesthetic, they have recently shifted towards more modern designs. As slow and earth-conscious lifestyles gain traction, APOLIS is likely to attract even more attention.
This season features many navy items with simple, stylish designs. The silhouette is also comfortably tailored, ensuring a clean and elegant fit for Japanese wearers. We encourage you to try them on in-store.
