“Shinichiro Ishibashi’s vision for KUON sees the melding of traditional Japanese codes with contemporary menswear silhouettes, approachable garments elevated by the designer’s appreciation of fine, hands-on craft. This motif resurfaces for Fall/Winter 2021, as the label incorporates themes from Japan’s Edo period into its latest seasonal selection, yielding a rich variety of textural layering pieces driven by Ishibashi’s desire to make clothing that’s both deeply personal and fun to wear.” by Jake Shilbert
