Yoshio Kubo's fashion label has been growing immensely in the past year and now yoshiokubo launches its seasonal capsule for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. The expansive range celebrates Japanese heritage, as it always plays a strong role in everything that the fashion brand embodies. This is important during Kubo's creative process and draws inspiration from classic structures and techniques.
This concept is translated through pieces such as the floral jacquards with deep dyes, which are done with influence from Japanese craftspeople who assemble kimono or furniture. The backdrop of the editorial is a traditional factory, authentically showcasing the designs. The seasonal apparel includes wrapped outerwear and militaristic touches, complete in a color palette centering red, gray, and more.
