TOKYO,
JAPAN - Media
OutReach - 20 September 2021 - Japanese fashion brand Metaphor, directed by Kento Fukatsu,
fashion designer and founder, has launched its global e-commerce website with
its new brand, Maison Métaphore.... The launch coincides with the release of
the brand's autumn/winter 2021 collection and aims to expand its reach across
the world.
Metaphor from 2019
Spring/Summer
"Just like a metaphor, the concept behind Maison
Métaphore...is to convey our evolving world through innovative, ground-breaking
fashion. By launching our global e-commerce website, we are enabling a larger
number of people the opportunity to express themselves through our progressive,
gender-neutral apparel," said Kento Fukatsu, designer and founder of Maison
Métaphore... and Metaphor.
Fukatsu's approach to design is the use of juxtapositions
and is inspired by Dadaism, an art movement that began during the First World War in Zurich. This produces
clothes that give the impression they are not worn exactly as they were
intended i.e., backwards, inside out, or skirts that look like pants. In
addition, and with sustainable fashion in mind, Fukatsu's designs are designed
to be worn for a long time by a wide range of people, regardless of gender.
The theme for the brand's autumn/winter 2021
collection is In the Middle of Change
with the brand's signature sense of incompatibility. With a nod to the world's
circumstances, it was created with a mixture of diverse cultures in mind but
still from a Japanese perspective. The collection uses the best materials
from Japan and features a combination of a
bustier, jacket and a jumper skirt reconstructed from a trench coat.
The collection was supervised by the stylist
Tsuyoshi Kurata. The e-commerce website will
be available in English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese as well as providing
access to a 24/7 live chat with customer support. The site also offers buyers
free shipping globally.
