ALMOSTBLACK, a Tokyo-based brand by designers Shunta Nakajima and Masaki Kawase, has already released its Fall / Winter 2018 collection at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . A pop-up shop will also be set up on the 2nd floor in the International Creators section from June 13th (Wed) to June 28th (Thu).

Almostblack is a Tokyo brand that is currently attracting attention, based on the concept of "POST JAPONISM," which fuses Japanese aesthetics with global culture to create something "new and powerful." The brand name is derived from "kachi-iro" (a deep indigo color that looks almost black), and the brand develops collections that aim to create "kachi-iro clothing" that evokes the Japanese spirit, drawing inspiration from this.

In the past, they have developed their collections influenced by the avant-garde art group "Gutai," led by artist Saburo Murakami, and the poet Katsue Kitazono . For their Autumn/Winter 2018 collection, they focused on an artist who had a major influence on the Japanese photography world from the 1950s onward. Inspired by the artist's representative work, "Multiple Exposure," they expressed ethnic, military, and dress styles through draping and layering, reminiscent of multiple exposures*.
