Introducing Studio Shokunin, our debut workwear capsule — a first exploration of craftsmanship, purpose, and the delicate balance between movement and stillness. This initial drop brings together a curated selection of work jackets, utility vests, shirts, quilted body warmers, and an apron, each piece designed to embody a facet of the journey towards mastery.
Drop:One traces the rhythm of MOVEMENT and STILLNESS:
- Movement, seen in the double-breasted utility jackets, captures the fire within — the desires and destinies we pursue, written both inside us and shaped by the world.
- Stillness, explored through the quilted body warmers, holds the quiet power of thought, the subtle motions that allow creativity and clarity to flourish.
- The capsule embraces chaos and imperfection, reminding us that going against the current is part of every creative journey.
This is a story of transformation, of striving, and of finding balance in the spaces between action and pause.
