The Wearability of Enhance’s Ready-to-Wear
In 2016, Masakazu Takeguchi launched his brand, heavily inspired by the gothic aesthetic and with asymmetrical silhouettes.

Having graduated in 1993, Mazakuzu Takeguchi created his first brand in 1994. After a career trajectory that saw him get involved with a number of different brands that met with different fates, he launched Enhance in 2016.
Controlled irregularity
Maybe it’s because he’s been around for a while, but Mazakuzu Takeguchi doesn’t claim to reinvent the wheel. His universe is controlled and coherent and his garments are adapted to everyday wear, with a predilection for a gothic aesthetic with asymmetrical leanings. With ripped fabric, interminable fringing, and crumpled origami textures, for Masakazu Takeguchi, irregularity is the new black.
Enhance’s creations can be found on the brand’s website and on its Instagram account.
