KANEKO ISAO

Kaneko Isao was a master of perfect romanticism. Much like many Art Nouveau architects — most of whom were men crafting deeply feminine, ornamental works — Kaneko created one of Japan’s most romantic, flowery and delicate fashion brands. Elaborate detailing, dense layers, painstaking craftsmanship and precision are key takeaways here. A perfect brand to explore for fans of kawaii and folkloric sensibility, proto Lolita style and imaginative side of Tokyo streets.
