Overview

Tagline

glam sexy
EGOIST is a Japanese women's fashion brand that traces its origins to EGOIST Co., Ltd., founded by Kazuya Kito in 1994. It opened a store in Shibuya 109 in 1999 and, alongside “charismatic store clerks” such as Yoko Morimoto and Reiko Nakane, helped shape Heisei-era gyaru culture and 109-style fashion. Today, it offers apparel, bags, shoes, and other items, primarily through its official online store. With “glam sexy” as its guiding concept, the brand presents glamorous styles and sexy femininity for women with a strong sense of self who do not pander to others.

Concept

Based on a luxurious, glamorous style, the brand continually pursues sexy femininity. It continues to appeal to women's desire to remain stylish and beautiful at all times while taking on new fashion.

GRAN EGOIST is a second line from EGOIST, launched for Fall/Winter 2004–2005 to offer a more elevated direction than the main line at the time. It reappeared in 2024 as a Don Quijote-exclusive project, offering unisex products with graphics evoking Heisei-era gyaru and Y2K. Rather than simply extending EGOIST’s women’s gyaru style, it is positioned to bring the brand’s background to a different audience through items that can be worn by people of any gender and by families. In recent years, its products have been available at Don Quijote and other retailers, and kids’ items were added for Fall/Winter 2025.
