Tokyo-based designer Akiko Aoki, a graduate of Joshibi University and Central Saint Martins, skillfully weaves together classic and subversive elements in her womenswear creations. 🩰

“Driven by the philosophy that fashion is a posture, a performance, and a living act, AKIKOAOKI seeks to create a novel and nostalgic world of fashion by drawing out the fantasy that hides beneath the surface of everyday life.
Through a deconstruction and reassembly of the essence of womenswear, AKIKOAOKI offers a vision that is not only classic and delicate, but also unique, subversive and individual.”

Since established in 2014, it captures the cultural essence of fashion as a tool for societal engagement and contemporary discourse, depicting the lifestyle and posture of individuals adorned in Western attire. Collaborating with THREE TREASURES, the brand initiated its foray into footwear from the 22SS season onwards. It is currently unfolding innovative shoes that embrace the brand's unique values and perspectives. 💫
