We kindly request you to contact us to provide your measurements so we can ensure the garment fits you perfectly. 【 YOJIRO KAKE 】 *Brand Profile* The brand's studio is located in Florence, Italy. YOJIRO KAKE founded his eponymous brand in late 2012, co-managed with Taiwanese designer Oka HuiYun Lin. Currently, the brand is available at the concept stores Bjork Florence and La Gare 24 in Florence, Italy, and Boutique 51 in Cairo, Egypt. *Brand Aesthetic* Yojiro, with his affinity for menswear tailoring, skillfully applies these techniques to womenswear. Classic items such as shirts, jackets, and coats showcase details and thoughtful touches inspired by bespoke menswear. The brand's essence revolves around a vibrant, sometimes anxious and lost, atmosphere reminiscent of a child's dream. Life itself is the inspiration; the emotional people around him consistently spark new ideas when Yojiro faces new designs. This is how Yojiro, who struggles with verbal expression, communicates his inner thoughts through his designs. *Yojiro Kake* Yojiro graduated from POLIMODA International Institute of Fashion Design & Marketing in Italy in 2012, specializing in Fashion Design. He previously studied and worked as a senior pattern maker and designer at YASUKO UEDA Technical College of Fashion in Japan. However, Yojiro was not passionate about the fast-fashion industry, which solely pursued profit, leading him to pursue fashion design again at POLIMODA, a different educational and stylistic environment. Encouraged and supported by Linda Loppa, the director of POLIMODA and a mentor to the Antwerp Six, Yojiro began developing his independent brand in the year of his graduation. *Oka HuiYun Lin* In 2013, Oka pursued Fashion Styling at POLIMODA. She graduated from the Department of Industrial Design and the School of Textiles, specializing in Shoe and Bag Design at Shih Chien University. She previously worked in visual and bag design, and briefly in restaurant front-of-house service and boutique retail. At the YOJIRO KAKE studio, she is responsible for brand image, seasonal style direction, brand visual and auditory identity, exhibition planning, and sales.
