“MYne” changes the name to “KAMIYA” under the name of the director, Koji Kamiya from the 2023 Autumn/Winter collection.
As I earnestly face the clothes and deepen my thought, I came to genuinely love the brand as if it were my own alter ego.”
“KAMIYA” starts as a brand strongly expresses Kamiya’s own roots culture, pursuing a style inspired by fashion culture that mixes vintage, archival, and current products, and developing creations that make full use of changes in expression represented by damage processing.
The theme of the first collection for the Autumn/winter 2023 is
“NEW JACK”.
It is derived from “NEW JACK SWING” in the category of black music, which was called “the beat representing a new generation and era” in the music scene of the 80’s. It also has the meaning of “newcomer” in the context of Kamiya’s own current situation.
Enjoy the fresh approach that is not bound by the conventional concept of clothes making, such as work pants and vests with hard damage and bleach processing on duck fabric, T-shirts and hoodies with a vintage look, and knitted items with a unique texture by using shoe laces as threads.
The Autumn/winter 2023 collection launches at THE PHARCYDE store on 5 August, and the official online store on 11 August.
