Following a much-hyped introduction at VERSUS TOKYO and their first collection in 2014 during Tokyo Fashion Week, the brand MISTERGENTLEMAN, founded in 2012 by Takeshi Osumi and Yuichi Yoshi, burst onto Japanese fashion scene and opened a first international store in Shanghai in 2018.
Inspired by Virgil Abloh, founder of Off-White, and Shayne Oliver (Hood by Air), MISTERGENTLEMAN suffuses suave British style with a touch of hip-hop, using details and silhouettes that redefine the standards of basic garments. Welcome to the era of the street-style Dandy.
More information on MISTERGENTLEMAN can be found on the brand’s website.
