The Pioneer of the Skinny Jean Boom Makes Its Grand Entrance in Japan

Based in Los Angeles, J Brand was founded in 2005 by Jeff Rudes, the current CEO, with the vision of creating timeless, sophisticated denim. The brand prioritizes inspiration and fit, aiming to enhance not only the appearance but also the mood of the women who wear its jeans.

The brand is credited with igniting the skinny jean trend, now a wardrobe staple. Its clientele includes numerous celebrities such as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Kate Moss, and Mick Jagger. J Brand enjoys immense popularity among fashionistas worldwide, with stores in Los Angeles, New York, and beyond.




J Brand opens its first Japanese store on October 9th (Wednesday) on the 4th floor of the Hankyu Umeda Main Store, within the women's apparel section. The store, approximately 21.5 square meters, features a refined space designed with a palette of white and black. It offers a wide selection, primarily focusing on premium denim. To commemorate the opening, customers will receive a special gift with purchase. Quantities are limited, so early visits are recommended.

Renowned for their minimalist design, flattering silhouette that creates beautiful legs, and exceptional fit, J Brand is set to officially launch its business in Japan, beginning with this first store.
