We have decided to take on Japan for the manufacturing aspect in the Harajuku region due to its centralized interest in fashion and showrooms of apparel in this district. With the amount of progressive designers such as Hiroki Nakamura and Toshikiyo Hirata reconstructionist garments made of Western and American clothes, we thought it aligned with what we strive towards and have an interest in. Repurposing garments and introducing idiosyncratic differences into the apparel making it truly Japanese and distinct. Hiroki Nakamura’s Visvim is strong for its artisanship and attention to detail when constructing their garments. Visvim is known for its deep and distinctly Japanese fascination with traditional American workwear (Business of Fashion, 2015).
