Overwhelming individuality through a hybrid of unique tailoring and styling

The "TAISHI NOBUKUNI" collection line garners attention each season for its styling, built upon traditional British bespoke tailoring techniques enhanced by the methods learned from John Galliano.

Nobukuni's designs, which infuse British traditional style with his own absorbed culture and beliefs, convey a sense of trend while maintaining a unique interpretation and sense of balance.



For the 2012 Spring/Summer collection, the brand presents a range of tailored items that achieve an ultimate lightness, embodying the era's demands through an evolved light construction. The collection also features a sailor-inspired aesthetic achieved through styling, with an emphasis on rolled-up sleeves.

The designs reflect Nobukuni's craftsman-like essence, honed daily at his tailor shop, 'THE CRAFTIVISM taishi nobukuni.' His unparalleled styling and color coordination are captivating.
