Plate M-16 · 2,224 stores · 1351–1500 of 2224 · curated ORBIS register
What makes great fashion houses & boutiques?
This plate lists 2,224 shops in 122 countries. Paris has the most with 191, followed by Tokyo with 68. Among these shops, 90 describe made-to-order work, 12 offer repairs, 234 sell online and 11 work by appointment, going by their own descriptions.
Ask whether the label is the shop's own: some shops design and make their own collections, while others select from other labels.
Ask about alterations: ask whether the shop shortens and adjusts garments, and how long that takes.
Ask about returns and shipping: ask whether pieces can be exchanged from abroad and sent to your country.

Japanese vintage culture magazine — denim, leather, boots, Americana, and the publication that documents Japanese heritage fashion culture monthly.
Best for Vintage culture magazine, denim leather boots, monthly.
2nd (セカンド) is a long-running Japanese men's style magazine built around what it calls 'American trad' -- navy blazers, button-down oxford shirts, penny loafers -- read through the lens of vintage Americana and workwear culture rather than conventional prep. Aimed at men in their thirties and forties, it built a reputation over more than a decade as one of the two or three Japanese titles serious heritage-clothing and denim collectors actually trust, alongside its stablemate Lightning. In March 2018, its then-publisher, Ei Publishing, announced it would cease print publication with the May issue after an 11-year run and roughly 75,000 in circulation, citing a shift to digital; industry press reported the title returned to print within about a month under renewed backing. A dedicated spin-off mook, Bessatsu 2nd (Separate Volume 2nd), continues to run parallel deep dives into sneakers, leather shoes and denim specifically. The magazine's signature editorial device is 'denim trad' -- folding a fabric coded as rugged American workwear into the vocabulary of Ivy and trad dressing, styling raw denim against blazers and loafers rather than against other workwear. It remains in active circulation today, now issued under a different publishing imprint, with new issues still reaching Japanese newsstands and specialty import shelves internationally.

The Ivy League-obsessed sub-line of Beams — Japanese reinterpretation of mid-century American casual wear. Patchwork madras, chambray, and needlepoint belts.
Best for Ivy League polos, Japanese; Japanese Ivy League and vintage American reinterpretation
Blue Blue Japan is the indigo-focused label of Seilin & Co., founded in 1996 alongside its Daikanyama flagship store Okura, which opened three years earlier. Garments are hand-dyed with fermented sukumo indigo and finished with sashiko stitching and boro patchwork, made entirely in Japan.
Best for Pure indigo-dyed sashiko and boro-inspired Japanese clothing
Blue Blue Japan traces to 1996, when Seilin & Co. built the label around three commitments: handcraft, indigo dyeing, and clothing meant to feel warm and worn-in. The brand's spiritual home, OKURA, actually predates it by three years — the Daikanyama shop opened in 1993, built by staff from reclaimed driftwood and scrap metal, and still anchors the label's identity today.
The dyeing itself follows the traditional sukumo process: indigo leaves are grown, harvested, dried and fermented before being reduced into dye and applied by hand. Unlike synthetic indigo, sukumo-dyed fabric changes as it's worn — impurities fall away with use, and the color is said to deepen into a richer blue over time, a slow transformation the brand treats as part of the garment's design rather than a flaw to prevent.
Sashiko stitching and boro patchwork, both born from Japanese traditions of mending and reinforcing cloth out of necessity, appear throughout the line — on coats, shirts and denim — alongside the brand's core indigo dyeing. The result is a made-in-Japan collection built explicitly around artisan technique rather than seasonal trend.
Cult streetwear boutique known for graphic tees, accessories, and punk-influenced designs. A staple of Harajuku's street fashion scene since the late 1990s.
Best for Cult streetwear boutique known for graphic tees, accessories, and punk-influence
Tokyo-based technical outdoor-fashion label revived in 2009 by Harajuku vintage retailer Lost Hills from a 1915 Seattle bedding/down-quilt maker's name, blending vintage American mountaineering references with modern fabrics like eVent and Dyneema under designer Makoto Okuya.
Best for Japanese technical shells, utility trousers and outdoor packs
CMF (Comfy Outdoor Garment) is a Japanese technical outerwear label based in Shibuya, Tokyo, that traces its name to a 1915 Seattle company originally making bedding and down quilts. That name was revived in 2009 by Lost Hills, a Harajuku-based vintage clothing store, and rebuilt as a contemporary outdoor-fashion brand under designer Makoto Okuya. Rather than reproducing vintage American mountaineering gear directly, CMF reinterprets its aesthetics -- boxy silhouettes, utilitarian pocketing, mountain-parka shapes -- using modern technical textiles such as eVent waterproof-breathable fabric and Dyneema, combined with Japanese and Pacific Northwest streetwear influences. Garments typically feature multiple pockets, ventilation panels, sealed zippers and adjustable straps, positioning the brand within the broader 'gorpcore' movement that repurposes technical outdoor clothing as everyday fashion. Though the brand's name and founding story reference an American heritage company, CMF today operates as a Japanese label designed and based in Tokyo, distributed through its own e-commerce and a network of international specialty retailers carrying Japanese technical streetwear.
Rei Kawakubo’s republic — the Aoyama flagship behind the blue-dot glass tunnel, where clothing has argued with itself since 1969; enter curious, leave changed.
Best for The argument of fashion itself.
Rei Kawakubo founded Comme des Garçons in Tokyo in 1969 and, upon showing in Paris in 1981, detonated fashion's assumptions: black, asymmetric, deliberately unfinished clothes the press called 'Hiroshima chic' and history now calls the moment Japanese design conquered the West. Kawakubo has never softened — her collections remain conceptual arguments, her 2017 Met retrospective only the second given a living designer — while the house she built spans lines from the radical mainline to Play, whose heart-with-eyes logo made the avant-garde wearable by everyone. The Minami-Aoyama flagship in Tokyo is the mothership, its architecture as considered as the clothes. Enter through Play or the shirts if the mainline intimidates; collectors hunt the runway pieces. No living designer has held the line between art and clothing this uncompromisingly for this long.
The Aoyama flagship rewards visiting even without buying; architecture, staff dress, and hang of the clothes together teach what the label is arguing that season.
Hiromi Nakauchi's poetic minimalism — architectural silhouettes, monochromatic palettes, and the Japanese womenswear brand that treats clothing as sculpture.
Best for Architectural silhouettes, monochromatic, and clothing as sculpture.
Tokyo label and retail concept founded by Takayuki Minami, pairing clean architectural silhouettes with carefully selected Japanese fabrics across shirts, trousers, outerwear and basics.
Best for Architectural Japanese polos; Architectural basics, quality
Founded 2006 as Fast Retailing's budget sister brand to Uniqlo; the name puns on the Japanese word jiyū (freedom). Expanded to Shanghai in 2013 and opened its first US store in 2022.
Best for Affordable trendy basics
GU was founded in 2006 as a low-cost sister brand to Uniqlo, under Uniqlo's parent company Fast Retailing. The name is a pun on the Japanese word jiyū (自由), meaning 'freedom,' reflecting the brand's positioning as an escape from higher-priced fashion — its stated ethos is 'Making fashion freer.' GU relies on Uniqlo's supply chain and manufacturing infrastructure to hit lower price points while still turning over trend-driven pieces faster than Uniqlo's more basics-focused range, targeting a younger customer base with items including gender-neutral pieces. The brand expanded outside Japan for the first time in 2013, with a store in Shanghai, and reached the United States only in 2022, via a pop-up store in New York City. By 2022, GU's sales had reached roughly $1.9 billion, about 12% of Fast Retailing's total group revenue, making it a significant earner within the Uniqlo parent group rather than a minor side label.
Laforet Harajuku is a fashion shopping complex in Tokyo with a history tied to the neighbourhood's youth culture. Opened in 1978, it brings multiple labels and retailers into one building rather than presenting a single house collection. Its changing shops and creative programmes make the tenant list a useful starting point for planning a visit.
Best for Multi-label fashion shopping in Harajuku
Laforet Harajuku is a multi-floor fashion complex in Harajuku built around both permanent shops and temporary retail. Its directory separates womenswear and menswear from unisex fashion and accessories as well as beauty, while cafés occupy another part of the building. Pop-up spaces operate beside that permanent mix, and listings identify temporary projects by floor and date. Some programmes use entrance or container spaces rather than conventional shop units, allowing the complex to change without remaking its entire tenant plan. A museum adds an exhibition surface to the retail floors. This combination gives Laforet a role in Harajuku fashion beyond property management. Permanent labels provide continuity, while pop-ups and campaigns create room for smaller or time-bounded projects. The floor map makes those layers legible as one vertical programme. Fashion categories can be compared within the building, yet each tenant retains its own identity and product policy. The defining facts are architectural and editorial: several floors of specialist fashion, a museum, and a rotating system of dated pop-ups that lets the complex respond to new labels and subcultures.
Delightful multi-brand store with reproduction and modern labels — Camber, Chamula, Engineered Garments, and Needles. Great vintage southwestern jewelry.

Japanese womenswear label IJIIT, launched in 2003 by designer Keiji Itakura, who opened the flagship store in Tokyo's Omotesando in 2004. Rebranded IJIIT and Co. for spring/summer 2021 around a 'timeless and comfortable' concept of relaxed, washable pieces.
Best for Minimalist menswear
IJIIT is a Japanese fashion label launched in 2003 by designer Keiji Itakura, who had earlier won the Tokyo New Creators Collection Grand Prize twice, in 1993 and 1995. Itakura opened the brand's flagship in Tokyo's Omotesando district in 2004. Japanese fashion press describes IJIIT as a womenswear line, originally built around applying menswear pattern-cutting techniques to women's clothing with an emphasis on three-dimensional construction. For spring/summer 2021 the brand rebranded as IJIIT and Co. around a timeless and comfortable concept, moving toward relaxed silhouettes and washable, easy-care materials. Itakura separately runs a menswear-focused line called The Keiji, launched in 2016.
Shinjuku department-store flagship known for fashion buying, beauty, home goods and its basement food hall, combining designer retail with Japanese department-store service.
Best for Tokyo premier department store
Isetan began as a Tokyo kimono shop in 1886 and grew into Japan's most fashion-forward department store; its Shinjuku flagship, an Art Deco landmark from 1933, is a major reference point for Japanese fashion retail. The men's building alone — eight floors treating menswear with a depth no Western store matches, from bespoke tailoring floors to avant-garde Japanese labels — justifies the pilgrimage. The main building's fashion floors are curated with gallery seriousness, and the basement depachika food hall is among Tokyo's finest: a subterranean city of confectionery, bento, and gift-boxed fruit at prices that recalibrate one's sense of a melon. Ride to the rooftop garden between floors. The seasonal gift culture — chugen and seibo — reaches its most refined expression here; the wrapping alone is a lesson in Japanese retail.
Reserve real time for the men's building and the basement separately — each is a full visit — and consider the fruit parlour's absurd, wonderful gift melons at least once.
Isetan Shinjuku combines a food hall and women's fashion departments with a separate building devoted to menswear. The main store opened in Shinjuku in 1933, following the company's earlier beginnings as a kimono business. Its departments also cover beauty products and household goods, while restaurants provide a break from shopping upstairs.
Best for Department-store fashion and food-hall shopping in Shinjuku
Isetan began as a kimono business in 1886, before opening its main store in Shinjuku in 1933. Those dates describe different stages of the business, rather than two competing accounts of the current shop. The official floor guide separates the main building from a dedicated men's building, giving each a distinct shopping role.
The main building brings women's clothing and accessories together with beauty counters and departments for the home. Its food hall offers another reason to visit without making a clothing purchase the purpose of the trip. Restaurants occupy an upper level, and the store also includes an art gallery and a roof garden.
The men's building gives more space to tailoring and footwear alongside designer clothing and leather goods. Made-to-measure services and alterations appear in its floor guide, separate from ready-to-wear departments. A shopper comparing a suit with casual clothing can therefore start in the relevant building instead of treating the complex as one undifferentiated store. Checking the floor guide before arrival helps narrow the visit to the departments that matter.
The master of pleats and technological fabric innovation. From Bao Bao bags to Pleats Please — Japanese fashion as wearable architecture.
Best for Pleats Please and Bao Bao bags
Issey Miyake treated clothing as a technology problem with a poet's deadline. From 1970 in Tokyo his studio pursued one idea — "a piece of cloth," the garment born from a single plane — through innovations the industry is still metabolizing: Pleats Please (1993), garments pleated after cutting so they spring eternally back to shape, pack like paper and never wrinkle; A-POC ("A Piece Of Cloth"), clothes engineered as continuous tubes of fabric the wearer cuts free.
The Bao Bao bag put the research in every train carriage — a mesh of rigid triangles that collapses and reforms like origami architecture. Steve Jobs' black turtleneck was Miyake's; the designer made him roughly a hundred.
Miyake died in 2022, but the house was always built as a studio rather than a signature — the Miyake Design Studio's teams carry the lines forward, and the Reality Lab keeps prototyping. Japanese fashion's great optimist: where his peers wielded black, Miyake pleated joy.
Junya Watanabe is Comme des Garçons' technical poet — Rei Kawakubo's protégé, given his own label under the CdG umbrella in 1992 and a menswear line in 2001, and long since a master in his own right.
Best for Patchwork Levi's and technical tailoring.
Junya Watanabe is Comme des Garçons' technical poet — Rei Kawakubo's protégé, given his own label under the CdG umbrella in 1992 and a menswear line in 2001, and long since a master in his own right. His method is reconstruction as reverence: garments you know completely — the Levi's 501, the MA-1 bomber, the Barbour jacket — taken apart and rebuilt into something that honors the original by exceeding it.
The patchwork denim pieces are the signature: workwear archaeology, indigo panels quilted into new geographies, boro tradition run through Paris pattern-cutting. The womenswear operates at another altitude entirely — honeycomb-cut techno-fabric collections that fold flat like paper lanterns, tailoring computed as much as sewn.
His collaborations are fashion's most intelligent — The North Face, Carhartt, New Balance, Brooks Brothers — because they're conversations, not logo swaps. Watanabe rarely gives interviews and lets the seams argue for him: the quietest radical in the Comme family, and possibly its finest craftsman.
Kagure is a Tokyo lifestyle brand built around organic cotton clothing and natural-material homeware, with its original flagship store, Kagure Omotesando, opened in December 2008 inside a building finished in solid white oak, cedar and plaster. The brand now runs additional stores at Tokyu Plaza Ginza and Yokohama Joinus alongside its online shop.

Women's line launched in 2006 by Tokyo designer Yoshio Kubo, who trained at Philadelphia University and under New York couturier Robert Danes; 'Muller' is an Aragonese word for woman, and dresses anchor each collection.
Best for Printed Clothing, Tailoring
Muller of Yoshiokubo is the women's line of Tokyo designer Yoshio Kubo, launched in 2006 alongside his menswear-rooted main label 'yoshiokubo.' Kubo studied at Philadelphia University's School of Textile and Science, graduating in 2000, then worked for four years as an assistant designer to New York couturier Robert Danes before returning to Japan in 2004 to start his own label. The name Muller derives from a word used in Aragon, Spain, meaning 'woman' - built around dresses as the core silhouette with jackets, boleros and trousers developed as companion pieces. The line shows at Tokyo Fashion Week.

Tokyo menswear label founded 1999, creatively directed since 2001 by designer Takayuki Fujii; blends workwear and outdoor references with refined materials, from its flagship shop in Meguro-ku's Nakameguro district.
Best for Outdoor-street fusion
nonnative is a Tokyo-based contemporary menswear label running since 1999. Designer Takayuki Fujii, born in Nara, studied fashion at Musashino Art University before leaving in his second year, joined as creative director in 2001, and has shaped the label's sensibility since. The line merges rugged outdoor and workwear silhouettes with finer materials and construction than typical workwear references get. Its main shop sits in Tokyo's Nakameguro area within the broader Meguro-ku district, run under parent company TNP. nonnative has also opened a shop in Osaka and periodically collaborates with other labels, including outdoor brand Gramicci.
Tokyo's youth-culture department store founded 1973 in Shibuya, blending fashion, art, music, and subcultures; rebuilt and reopened 2019 with 600,000 monthly overseas visitors.
Best for Tokyo youth department store
Parco opened in 1973 and played a foundational role in establishing Shibuya's image as Japan's epicenter of youth culture and fashion. As a shopping complex with an 11-story format, the facility positioned itself as a cultural institution rather than purely commercial retail, emphasizing youth culture, art, music, and fashion through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The original Parco shaped Shibuya's identity as a destination for young people and remained ahead of cultural trends. After decades at the forefront of fashion retail, the store was rebuilt and reopened in 2019 with expanded features including outdoor terraces and a reimagined tenant mix. The 6th floor houses shops associated with otaku culture including a Nintendo store, Pokémon Center, Jump Shop, and Capcom Store, reflecting the shift in youth culture consumption. Today Parco attracts approximately one million visitors monthly, with around 600,000 coming from overseas, making it one of Tokyo's most internationally visited shopping destinations. The facility continues to position itself as a cultural venue where retail serves as a secondary function to artistic and social expression.

Seibu's Ikebukuro flagship traces to a 1940 relaunch by Yasujiro Tsutsumi; the 14-story store is among the world's largest department stores, with a food hall drawing about 70 million visitors a year.
Best for Tokyo fashion department store
The Ikebukuro store's roots go back to 1935, when a small department store called Kikuya opened near Ikebukuro Station. In 1940 Yasujiro Tsutsumi bought it, renamed it Musashino Department Store, and after the war reopened it as Seibu Department Store in a two-story building of about 1,500 square meters. Under Tsutsumi's son Seiji, the store expanded rapidly through the 1950s and 60s into one of Japan's largest department stores.
Today the Ikebukuro flagship, also called Seibu Ikebukuro Honten, is a 14-story building and one of the one of the largest department stores in the world by floor area. Its food hall spans two floors and is described as Tokyo's largest, part of a complex that draws an estimated 70 million visitors a year.
Seibu operates as Sogo & Seibu, a joint department-store group; Ikebukuro remains the group's flagship location in Tokyo's northwest, anchoring the station district alongside its longtime rival Tobu.
Shibuya109 brings individual fashion shops together in a multi-floor shopping building in Tokyo's Shibuya district. Its store directory covers clothing and cosmetics. Accessories and places to eat are also listed. Temporary shops and brand events change through the year, so the floor map and current announcements help visitors plan which floors to explore.
Best for Fashion shops and changing pop-ups in Shibuya
Shibuya 109 is a fashion building rather than a single shop, stacked over roughly ten floors from the basements upward. Reading it by floor is the sensible way to approach it. Fashion occupies most of the levels. Cosmetics and accessories are distributed among them, and cafes sit at the top and bottom.
The tenants are young domestic labels rather than international chains, which is the reason to come. Names like ANAP and BUBBLES sit alongside Amavel and ABC-MART Grand Stage.
The mix turns over often enough that the directory is worth checking rather than assumed, and the building publishes it rather than leaving shoppers to wander.
The part that genuinely distinguishes the building is the pop-up programme. Limited stores appear on the eighth floor and in the first basement for days or weeks at a time. They are frequently tied to anime and music properties, and then they vanish. For anyone interested in what the youth market in Shibuya is doing this month, that rotation is the exhibit.

Tokyo menswear — dramatic oversized silhouettes and hand-painted details from Central Saint Martins graduate.
Best for Artful casualwear
Shinya Kozuka is the founder and designer of Shinyakozuka, a Tokyo-based menswear brand specializing in dramatic silhouettes and conceptual collections. Kozuka graduated from Central Saint Martins in Menswear in 2013, then returned to Japan where he started his eponymous brand in 2015. The brand won the Tokyo Fashion Award in 2023. Kozuka regards fashion as something more than clothing, believing that sound, scent, objects, scenery, and human presence must all coexist to produce fashion. Shinyakozuka is perhaps best known for its dramatic, oversized silhouettes, most notably the signature oversized baggy pants and boxy, structural workwear jackets, which often utilize heavy-duty 14oz denim or canvas. Many pieces are hand-painted or finished by the artist himself. Collections are organized by issue numbers and include recurring themes such as the Ordinary Life collection line, collaborations (notably with Dickies), and conceptual series exploring ideas through garment construction.

Boutique in Tokyo's Aoyama district for TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist., designer Takahiro Miyashita's label launched in 2010; opened in 2011 as 'grocerystore.', later renamed TakahiromiyashitatheSoloist.AOYAMA.
Best for Musical fashion, dark romance
Takahiro Miyashita, born in Tokyo in 1973, first made his name with NUMBER (N)INE, which he launched in 1996 and showed at Tokyo Collections from 2001 and Paris Fashion Week from 2004, before dissolving the label in 2009. He restarted under a new name, TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist., presenting its first collection (Winter 2010) that July; 'TheSoloist.' reflects his view that anyone working with clothing should carry a solitary, individual spirit rather than follow a house line. The brand's first physical retail space opened on September 9, 2011, in Tokyo's Aoyama district, originally under the name 'grocerystore.' - a compact space built around repurposed vintage fixtures, glass chandeliers and timber wardrobes reflecting Miyashita's long-standing fascination with Americana. It has since been renamed TakahiromiyashitatheSoloist.AOYAMA and remains the brand's flagship Tokyo location. Miyashita's design language across the label's history has stayed consistent: elongated silhouettes, a melancholic and musically referential mood, and Japanese-made construction. He returned to runway presentations under the TheSoloist. name from Spring/Summer 2018 in Tokyo, and was invited as a guest designer for Pitti Immagine Uomo the same year, staging a joint show with UNDERCOVER.

Tokyo motorcycle-Americana label founded in 2005 by Masaki Egawa; garments are made entirely in Japan, including its 'Dirt Denim' fabric woven on old power looms in Ibara, Okayama, sold from the Trophy General Store in Shibuya.

Trophy Clothing is a Tokyo motorcycle-and-workwear label founded in 2005 by designer Masaki Egawa, who draws on classic motorcycle culture and vintage American workwear and is a member of the Tokyo Indians riding/design collective. All Trophy garments are made in Japan. The brand's signature material is 'Dirt Denim,' a low-tension fabric woven on old-style power looms in Ibara, a denim-producing city in Okayama Prefecture; it appears across trousers, chambray shirts and staples such as the 40's Civilian Trousers. The brand operates its retail and workshop space, Trophy General Store, in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Undercover Aoyama is the Tokyo shop of Jun Takahashi's label at 5-3-18 Minami Aoyama in Minato. Takahashi started Undercover in 1989 as a Bunka student and founded it formally in 1993 with the Nowhere store in Harajuku alongside Nigo. The label has shown in Paris since 2002. The shop carries the men's and women's collections, the kids' line and collaborations from Vans and George Cox to Medicom Toy.
Best for Jun Takahashi's punk-inspired streetwear-meets-high-fashion collections
Undercover's Aoyama shop stands at 5-3-18 Minami Aoyama in Minato ward, the district Jun Takahashi moved into after his first Harajuku store. Takahashi was born in 1969 in Kiryu, in Gunma prefecture. He studied apparel design at the Bunka Academy of Fashion from 1989 to 1991. There he sang in a Sex Pistols cover band and picked up the nickname Jonio for his resemblance to Johnny Rotten. He began Undercover in 1989 while still a student. The label was formally founded in 1993, the year he and Nigo, later of A Bathing Ape, opened the Nowhere store in Harajuku. The Aoyama shop followed as the brand grew. The first Undercover collection showed in Tokyo in 1994. The same year Takahashi began the intermittent A.F.F.A. project with Hiroshi Fujiwara. The Paris debut came in 2002, and in 2003 the Mainichi Shimbun gave him two fashion awards. The clothes take punk and street references with tattered or frayed elements and printed fabrics. The cuts lean feminine. Takahashi has described the work as strange but beautiful. The brand's own site now lists men's and women's lines, a kids' line and the Shepherd Undercover. Collaborations run from George Cox shoes and Vans OTW to Medicom Toy, The North Face and a Cindy Sherman capsule. A History of U archive and a stockists list sit alongside the shop pages for anyone tracing the label's seasons back to 2013.

The master of black — Japanese avant-garde tailoring that redefined menswear. Yohji's draped silhouettes and anti-establishment elegance are fashion history.
Best for Black draped avant-garde tailoring.
Yohji Yamamoto arrived in Paris in 1981 alongside Rei Kawakubo and detonated the decade's assumptions: black as a universe rather than an absence, fabric draped in volumes that ignored the body's sales pitch, hems left raw on purpose. Critics called it "Hiroshima chic"; history calls it the moment Japanese design took permanent residence at fashion's top table.
The Tokyo master's vocabulary has stayed astonishingly stable — oversized wool gabardine, asymmetric tailoring, clothes described by Wim Wenders' documentary Notebook on Cities and Clothes as philosophy you can wear. His empire radiates outward in deliberate rings: the mainline and Pour Homme, Y's — his original 1972 line, and Y-3, the adidas partnership launched in 2003 that essentially invented luxury sportswear collaboration.
Now in his eighties and still taking the bow himself, Yamamoto remains menswear's conscience: proof that a single idea — black, cut with feeling — can outlast every trend it declined to follow.

Toulouse workwear label founded 2015 by Ahmed Taoufiki and Armand Teboul, reworking 1940s-60s military and workwear silhouettes into selvedge jeans and work jackets, largely made in France from vintage army stock and traceable fabrics.
Best for French denim and workwear — jackets, jeans, and fatigue pants
Champ de Manoeuvres was founded in 2015 in Toulouse by Ahmed Taoufiki and Armand Teboul, two founders who came from the garment trade itself. Their focus from the start was vintage workwear and military clothing: 1940s work garments, 1950s uniforms, 1960s fatigues, reinterpreted rather than simply reproduced. Champ de Manoeuvres has built its catalogue around Japanese and selvedge denim jeans, moleskin and wool work jackets, utility pants, chambray and seersucker shirts, and outerwear like parkas, pea coats and bomber jackets, much of it produced in France. A notable part of the brand's sourcing involves buying up old military stock and remaking it into new pieces.
Anissa Aida is a minimalist ready-to-wear label that draws on Tunisian and Japanese heritage, cutting garments with kirigami and origami techniques. The line has shown at London Fashion Week's Fashion Scout and at Far Nearer Paris.
Best for Kirigami- and origami-cut Tunisian ready-to-wear
Anissa Aida is a minimalist ready-to-wear label built on a single technical signature: garments constructed with the paper-craft logic of kirigami and origami rather than conventional pattern-cutting. The brand's own description frames its point of view plainly — authentic, effortlessly chic, minimalist fashion that draws on both Tunisian and Japanese heritage — and the clothes bear that out. A kirigami knit top, an origami coat, a laser-cut deconstructed short, and an asymmetrical shirt with kirigami sleeves all use cut lines as the design's main event, rather than embroidery or print.
The label's runway history traces its early rise in London. It debuted on the Fashion Scout "Ones to Watch" catwalk during London Fashion Week in September 2016, returned for the Fashion Scout Autumn/Winter 2017 show the following February, and, in September 2017, presented its Fall/Winter 2017/19 collection on the runway at Far Nearer Paris. That history is presented on the brand's site as a straightforward show record, alongside a stockists page and press mentions — no embellishment.
For anyone shopping the collection today, the throughline is pieces built around folds, cuts, and geometry: a $425 origami coat, a $269 swallow-wings kimono, a $245 kirigami dress — wearable versions of a construction technique more often seen in paper art.

Materials prioritize sustainability: hemp, organic cotton, recycled polyester, and Tencel fiber are standard across collections.
Place Centrale 12, 1936 Verbier / Verbier / Switzerland
On Place Centrale since the mid-seventies. The door that was here when Verbier was still building its reputation as a serious mountain town, not only a brand strip. Skis, boots, clothing, the practical conversation of someone who has fitted equipment for decades. You walk in off the square and the room still feels like a sports shop that belongs to the village rather than a cube that belongs to a logo. The light comes in from the square. The counter has the quiet of a place that has opened and closed through more.
Best for Independent sports on Place Centrale — continuous since 1974
Route de Verbier Station 35, 1936 Verbier / Verbier / Switzerland
At the entrance to the station, on Route de Verbier Station. The hardware counter that has been supplying the village and the chalets since the late eighties.

The kind of place you walk into when the errand is real and the till still belongs to someone who knows the valley.
Best for Hardware and practical supplies — family continuous since 1987

TR Handschuhe is a Vienna glove house run by Thomas Riemer, who entered the trade in his early twenties working alongside his father Erwin Riemer, co-owner of RIKA — an Austrian glove brand founded in the 1960s that made fashion and sports gloves in workshops across Austria and Hungary.
Best for Hand-stitched Vienna gloves in peccary and doeskin from a second-generation
TR Handschuhe is a Vienna glove house run by Thomas Riemer, who entered the trade in his early twenties working alongside his father Erwin Riemer, co-owner of RIKA — an Austrian glove brand founded in the 1960s that made fashion and sports gloves in workshops across Austria and Hungary. That lineage makes Thomas Riemer a second-generation glove maker rather than a new entrant borrowing an old craft's name, at a moment when the site itself notes no new apprentices have entered the Austrian glove trade since 1989.
The process the house describes is hand work at every stage: leather is soaked and stretched for 24 hours before a pair is hand-cut individually, and stitching is done freehand by seamstresses without pre-marked guides, a pace the site puts at about three fully hand-stitched pairs per person per working day. Leather comes, in the site's own words, from "some of the best Austrian, German, Finnish, French or Swiss tanneries," and finished gloves use peccary, goatskin, doeskin, and hair-sheep nappa, lined in cashmere or silk.
The range has grown to include leather accessories — bags, weekender luggage, toiletry cases — alongside the gloves, but gloves remain the founding product and the reason customers first come to the house. A live 2025 collection and worldwide shipping confirm this is a currently trading business, not a legacy name kept alive only in archives.

Best for Handmade batik textiles and vocational training for women
Chantal Donvidé was born in Agomé-Kpalimé, Togo, the eldest of seven children in a family already rooted in craft: her father founded the Kpalimé Artisanal Center and her mother worked as a seamstress. Donvidé trained and worked as a seamstress herself until 1999, when a health crisis left her unable to work her sewing machine for months.
With financing from the Hanns Seidel Foundation, she trained in batik dyeing and used roughly 20,000 CFA francs left over from a former apprentice's training fees to start what became Aklala Batik, formally established in Kpalimé. Women there stamp and paint wax patterns onto white cotton, then dip the cloth in dye baths before it is cut and sewn into pagnes, bags, clothing and accessories.
The venture grew from a single workshop into a training center for disadvantaged young women and girls, later opening a second boutique in Lomé on Boulevard de la Victoire in 2017. The nonprofit NEST provided additional financing and business training as the operation expanded, and Aklala Batik now describes itself as having trained roughly 1,000 young women at its center over nearly two decades of work.

<p>Alberta Ferretti's house begins, literally, in her mother's dressmaking studio. Born in 1950 in Cattolica, on Romagna’s Adriatic coast, she grew up among eighteen seamstresses, opened her own shop — the Jolly Shop — at eighteen, and by 1976 had co-founded the Aeffe group with her brother Massimo in nearby San Giovanni in Marignano. The company grew into one of Italian fashion's quiet powers: on the Milan runways from 1981, later manufacturing for other designers, including the young Moschino and Jean Paul Gaultier.</p><p>Her own signature never moved from what those seamstresses taught her: the drape. Ferretti is fashion's chiffon whisperer — goddess dresses of layered silk, pleating and bias work that read as effortless precisely because they are technically merciless. In 1989 she launched a second line, renamed Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti in 1994, carrying the romance to a younger buyer.</p><p>The design studio has stayed in Cattolica while the showroom works from Milan — a split the house itself calls central to its identity. That is the real signature: an Adriatic atelier romance, industrialized just enough by Aeffe to dress the world without leaving home.</p>
