For the last few years, our apparel campaigns have centred on families who maintain a close relationship with the natural world.
Our Spring-Summer 2023 collection lookbook maintains that tradition. We visited Yusuke Kido, a self-taught potter who lives with his family in the coastal city of Kagoshima, Japan.
Â
Yusuke’s ethos embodies the spirit of our new collection: to live without boundaries and embrace the outdoors. His work is a reminder of how important it is to disconnect from everyday routines; to strive for new experiences that bring us closer to nature.
Yusuke’s brand, ‘One Kiln’, was born in his home workshop. As an independent maker who holds a deep respect for his surroundings, it was important for him to forge a relationship with the materials with which he works. He personally digs all of his clay and uses volcanic ash from the nearby Sakurajima volcano to form the glaze.
Â
Â
His shapes are simple and easy to handle. They are designed ‘for all people’, to remind us to break-free from the norm and to connect with nature and with each other.Â
Our latest collection is made for urban and rural environments. Blending form with function, the high-quality garments are designed to facilitate memorable moments in the outdoors and inspire the free, creative spirit that exists within us all.Â
Â
The collection is built for the blurred line betweenÂ
city and nature, and the people who live there.
Everywhere is a shelter.
We make clothing for the wild streak within us.
Action, rest and the beauty of transition.
We are comfortable riding the balance.
Let’s make clothing for the journey.
