It does not set a seasonal theme and is characterized by clothing designed around ideas for individual pieces. While carrying on kolor’s distinctive forms and use of color and materials, it offers menswear, bags, accessories, and more, with a focus on making products.

    kolor BEACON is a menswear-focused sub-line that emerged from kolor, led by Junichi Abe, and launched in the Spring/Summer 2013 season. It was introduced alongside runway activities in Paris to clarify a product-oriented focus on “things” that are not bound by the season. Rather than centering on a unified collection theme, it emphasizes the refinement of individual pieces. While carrying forward kolor’s use of color and techniques for combining different materials, it complements the main line through individual-item proposals and accessories.
