“Eventually, each and every garment will be unique and different.” This is what Yuima Nakazato envisions as the future of mankind. Based on this vision, Nakazato has developed an innovative method to manufacture clothes without sewing. Assembling clothes with originally developed parts called “Units” makes it possible to freely combine and rearrange their design, size, and materials, leading to garments that harmonize with everyone who wears them.

This exhibition features Nakazato’s latest collection, introduced at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week in January 2018, and its proprietary manufacturing system of innovative clothes along with its new products using Ultrasuede®PX, an environmentally friendly suede texture fabric invented by Toray. Experience the future apparel envisioned by Nakazato, who wishes to deliver ultimate one-of-a-kind garments to each and every person in the world.
