Daisuke Tanaka (田中大資) was born in Osaka in 1992. He graduated from Osaka Bunka Fashion College, initially studying fashion/knitwear, and subsequently worked for the Japanese designer brand Keita Maruyama. After becoming independent, he worked as a costume designer and embroidery artist before launching his own collection brand, tanakadaisuke, in 2021.The brand's philosophy is beautifully expressed as:
"May you meet the unseen self in you through clothes that look as if they have been enchanted."
His collections are romantic, fantastical and highly decorative, with embroidery, beads, ribbons, lace and other embellishments playing a central role.
He has spoken about being influenced by the magical-girl anime he watched growing up, including Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Ojamajo Doremi. This helps explain the dreamlike, transformative quality of his clothing.
He subsequently won the TOKYO FASHION AWARD 2024, which helped the brand begin developing international wholesale relationships and gave him opportunities to meet overseas buyers.

YU AMATSU (天津 憂) is a Japanese fashion designer and, importantly, a highly accomplished pattern maker. He is best known as the founder and designer of the Japanese womenswear label A DEGREE FAHRENHEIT, established in 2009.
After fashion school, Amatsu moved to New York in 2004. He worked as a pattern maker for designers including Jen Kao and Marc Jacobs, developing a reputation for sophisticated construction and pattern cutting.
He also won the Gen Art International Design Competition twice, which gave him significant recognition in the American fashion industry. The competition had previously helped launch designers including Zac Posen and Phillip Lim.
Amatsu is not primarily a concept designer who happens to understand pattern cutting. His career was built around pattern making first.
That gives his work a particular quality:
Idea → pattern → construction → silhouette
rather than: Concept → image → garment
YU AMATSU is a Japanese designer whose real speciality is pattern engineering. His New York experience with Marc Jacobs and Jen Kao, followed by his return to Tokyo and creation of A DEGREE FAHRENHEIT, makes him a particularly good example of how Japanese designers have combined international fashion experience with Japan's extraordinary technical approach to garment construction.

4th September Tokyo Fashion Week will be hosting KHOKI (コッキ) who is one of the more interesting young Japanese menswear labels to emerge from Tokyo in recent years. It was founded in 2019 and is particularly unusual because it is not built around one designer. Instead, it operates as a collective design team. The most publicly identified figure is Koki Abe (阿部 弘樹), who is described as the collective's figurehead. He became publicly identified with the brand when KHOKI was selected as a semi-finalist for the 2024 LVMH Prize.

Tokyo Fashion Week Designer, YUKIHIRO TESHIMA has a catwalk show on 4th September @ 15.00 in Korakuen Hall, Tokyo.
Yukihiro Teshima grew up loving TV shows starring heroes, and at age 7 was taken by his grandfather to see a wrestling match, where he was impressed by the wrestlers' physiques and dramatic entrances. Deciding he was too small to become a wrestler himself, he chose instead to express that heroic charisma through fashion, enrolling at Bunka Fashion College and later working as a designer's assistant. About six months after graduating, he went independent, creating costumes for theatre, film, and television, and eventually founded Styling & Design Office RING FEELING. Japan.

YASUHIRO MIHARA Another successful Japanese fashion designer, moving up the ranks in the World of Fashion. Mihara Yasuhiro’s eponymous clothing label has been around for 30 years, but it only notched mainstream success in 2019 with the “OG Sole” sneakers. Indicative of the designer’s look at large, the shoes look familiar but luxe’d-up and dressed down, anchored by warped rubber soles created from 3D-scanning forms that Yasuhiro himself hand-sculpted in clay. Seven years later, the sneakers are still the brand’s most in-demand product, but Yasuhiro’s clothes have become equally vital. His label’s enormous hoodies, football-field-sized T-shirts, and elastic-waisted jeans are all so faded and ripped that their faux distressing becomes obvious, placing them in an uncanny valley of lived-in finery. And although their fabrics and finishings do situate them on the “luxury” end of the spectrum, Yasuhiro’s goofier items, which include double-sided jackets and denim pants with built-in cargo short overlays, show he’s still having fun with it.
