Beyond fashion, he has ventured into watchmaking, interior design, and graphic arts, cementing his legacy as a multifaceted creative force in Japanese design history.
A mythical pair of vintage Japanese denim pants, seen once in a lifetime. These jeans embrace what it means to be detailed by the right hand of a god—featuring leatherwork, studs, wax coating, and gilding in gems and metals. Showcasing two Katti-style swords in homage to Indian and/or Pakistani traditions, the swords are composed of metal plates, fairy lights, beads, and a variety of natural gems. Positioned over a genuine leather patch, they are outlined by a series of gunmetal studs. Similar design concepts follow onto the back of the pants, maintaining a consistent harmony without detracting from the spotlight held by the legendary daggers. A wax coating flows above the flared silhouette to finish the garment with texture and grit.
This is more than clothing—it is relic and rebellion. A piece to keep for a lifetime, reminiscent of monarch aesthetics while maintaining a cutthroat, alternative design. Myth turned material, meant for those who fuck.
