BLACK by VANQUISH is a Japanese menswear brand launched in 2015 under a new name, succeeding MURDER LICENSE, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2014. As a sibling brand of VANQUISH, under designer Hayato Shiroyama, it offers ready-to-wear as its main focus, alongside shoes, bags, hats, accessories, and other items. The brand aims to express what it wants to deliver “now,” without being bound by nationality or genre, and proposes everyday clothing combining stylish designs, delicate patternmaking, and carefully selected materials. JAPAN DENIM, which draws on Japanese weaving and washing techniques, is at its core, and the brand debuted at Tokyo Collection in Fall/Winter 2015.
