Overview

keisuke kanda is a Japanese fashion brand launched in 2005 by designer Keisuke Kanda.

It officially states its aim to make clothes that enable the wearer to take on challenges and that can prompt encounters with others or inspire new actions.

Concept

The aim is to create clothes that are not simply suited to you, but that enable you to take on challenges—clothes that can lead to meeting someone or starting something.

A derivative label announced by keisuke kanda as a new brand in 2015. Unlike clothing worn on the physical body, it was based on the concept of dressing up and enjoying the experience online, and offered items such as small hand-sewn garments. While sharing the parent brand’s production approach centered on handcraft, it was distinctive in focusing on how clothing appears online and on the experience of sharing it. Unlike keisuke kanda BOYZ, which is aimed at men, this line focused on the experience of wearing clothing in digital spaces rather than on a specific gender or type of clothing.

It carries forward the parent brand’s handwork and approach to garment-making while presenting menswear as an independent area of development. It also established sales opportunities distinct from the conventional new-collection presentation format, and launched at the milestone of the brand’s 20th anniversary. Unlike keisuke kanda AIR, which is themed around digital wear, it is positioned within the brand family as a line responsible for clothing for men.
