NIPOALOHA

ARTIST is one of the two main lines offered by NIPOALOHA, featuring aloha shirts with designs created in collaboration with contemporary artists. Unlike the KIMONO line, which centers on kimono fabrics and Japanese patterns, it is presented by department store media and retailers as a line that foregrounds printed designs created through artist collaborations. Within NIPOALOHA’s shared product category of aloha shirts, it is positioned as the line responsible for collaborations with contemporary artists.

KIMONO is one of the two main lines offered by NIPOALOHA, focusing on aloha shirts that use Japanese patterns derived from kimono and Japanese dyeing techniques. It is presented as a line that expresses the brand’s inherited methods for making Japanese-pattern aloha shirts by connecting them with Japanese craftsmanship, such as kimono fabrics and Kyoto yuzen dyeing. In contrast to the ARTIST line, which centers on designs created through collaborations with contemporary artists, it is positioned around materials and motifs derived from kimono, reflecting the brand’s roots.
