JUN OKAMOTO BLUE is a concept label launched for Spring/Summer 2010, based on collaborations incorporating saori weaving and artwork by people with disabilities, which JUN OKAMOTO began in Fall/Winter 2008. Unlike JUN OKAMOTO’s regular collections, which are centered on stories, it foregrounds collaboration with the welfare sector and the materials and artistic expression unique to each piece. Within the brand, it is positioned as a distinct derivative line centered on social collaboration and handcraft.
