Top 10 BEST Japanese Fashion Brands of ALL TIME

[@thierr10]

Great vid! When will you take us too the streets of Tokyo again and do some content out there? Love the channel keep it up!

[@THECASUALco]

May is gonna be great for you then.

[@arlevalin]

Jun Takahashi is my inspiration. I discovered Undercover during high school circa late 2000s. Then, Yohji Yamamoto I respect so much.

[@Ljames98]

I reckon Studio D'Artisan shouldv'e been on there considering the massive impact on the denim and in turn workwear category. It was the first of the Osaka 5 which started a whole new perception of denim and the raw denim craze. Also, it could be argued that it was a big influence on the historical reproduction aspect to fashion as well considering the rest of the Osaka 5. From the design perspective itself, they make some crazy and genuinely beautiful clothes that are also somehow easy to wear. Just my 2 cents

[@THECASUALco]

You might enjoy an episode coming up soon.

[@Ljames98]

@@THECASUALco Looking forward to it!

[@madrush24]

Agreed!

[@tokyugaijin9327]

Samurai jeans also 🔥

[@Devananta-Rafiq]

Big w for Comme in the number 1 spot. Beside the design aspect, the comme's business strategy is lowkey one of the best in the industry.

[@justgivemeonesec]

out of all the designer/streetwear brands ive seen, theres something about mastermind japan that has kept me hooked for years. i discovered it in 2017 and instantly fell in love w the aesthetic and exclusivity of it. its honestly the only high end brand id consider paying retail for.

[@dolbae69]

ASICS is extremely well-liked as well. It deserves at least an honourable mention…

[@bey208]

Kapital, any yohji yamamoto brand +y3, ÇDG hands down are always my favorite Japanese designers!!!

[@azabujuban-hito-dake]

I collected Yohji Yamamoto and Comme de Garçon. Those two play nice with my Jil Sander stuffs.

[@averageuser4651]

Judging from historical and global impact I totally agree with the list!

[@chaosdracos]

i agree with the list, I kinda want to see Julius continue to grow its presence so that it can be an HM one of these days, cuz I love that brand

[@elaineporter182]

When I visit I’m going to the shop that sells work wear.

[@Bigmosbigmos]

Miyake has also very interesting shirts and sweaters. RIP Steve Jobs used to his iconic turtleneck sweater.

[@pastense]

Aww NBHD is forever my fave Japanese brand. Since the 90s, I’ll never let go lol

[@BMo33]

would have put Bape lower, but it's impact on streetwear and introducing a lot of westerners to Japanese fashion definitely helps it earn its spot. and it's crazy to me how many comments are calling for Kapital. the brand is great but definitely hasn't made enough of a mark to replace anything on this list. I guess that's how the kids feel though. I appreciate the inclusion of dying oldies like Mastermind, N(N), and NBHD. thumbs up to the list overall!

[@Geemeel1]

What a great presenting !, what a talent! Wow 🤩

[@MikayeYakovlev]

Great list & I defo think Rei should be in first place! It is even more impressive, considering how she faced intersecting barriers to reaching global fashion superstardom as both a woman and not-French/Italian. However, I would also say that Issey could be higher than #5. His stuff is not just pleats. The mainline & menswear line (currently discontinued) were highly revolutionary in the 1980s and 1990s. He also helped the career of many designers, such as Tsumori Chisato and Kosuke Tsumura. Personally, I would include Tsumura's Final Home in the top 10, because it laid the foundation for the rise of tech wear and, later, gorpcore in the West, even if the brand itself is v underground.

[@EsbenShane]

Any videos with Japanese plus size men’s wear ?

[@leidwallan]

I would say cav empt as a honorable mention but other than that great list Yohji always gonna be my favorite though

[@mikedonovan9783]

Very interesting video, thx

I can certainly tell by the way you breakdown fashion you understand the grand scheme on how fashion works and reflects culture, I’m def taking notes がんばりましたね !

[@trevorsebastian1341]

I have a random question but a long while ago I happened upon some videos that was all in Japanese but it was soooo fun to watch, of small Japanese Mens stores with beautiful americana clothing inside, but since it’s in hiragana/kanji I can’t search for those videos on KZbin and find them. Any help? Lol

[@rockoutkids]

Did wtaps kind of fall off? Or have I just been out of the know?

[@LarsLenningerJansen]

what about The Osaka 5 ?

[@foxyjewellove2066]

What about Kenzo?

[@scarvello]

After living in Japan for 8 years they definitely have a “I don’t care what you think I’m going to wear what I want” mentality.

[@aidanflores3644]

Just getting into Japanese fashion. But how is kansai yamamoto not on here ? I read into him and he should be on here I think

[@VLAD.....]

I hope to see final home up there some day

[@commonwealthcommunitywatch6036]

great list, very accurate

[@ganjasmoothies]

fit is clean today 🙏🏿

[@bblancaflor]

dude where did you get your specs?...I need it!!!

[@Imreal66]

Human Made is my personal fav haha but awesome list!

[@wolfdesk]

I get why Issey is lower than Bape but it doesn't feel right. For me my interest in Japanese fashion began with Issey, CdG and Kenzo way before Bape existed. I fully understand Bape's impact since then but the OGs to turn the world's attention to Japan were those three brands. For that reason I would have had Issey at three.

[@THECASUALco]

It was hard to be objective and not put my feelings too much into it. Issey, myself, is among the top but I had my arm tied because the list included “street” labels. Bape just killed and continues to while Issey is an old favorite among those who have been following Japanese fashion beyond the street labels.

[@wolfdesk]

@@THECASUALco yeah I totally agree on the street aspect... As you said in the video the whole interest in Japanese street fashion came from them. I just love what Issey has done over the years.. from a fashion design perspective only Issey tops Bape but overall for this topic I think you are probably right.

[@groovieXL]

Hirofumi Kiyonaga’s soph/rbfc/UE family may have been worth an honourable mention (though I do recall briefly seeing some headline recently that he will be leaving!?!?) I would put them on the same level as wtaps. Good list, I had a good chuckle on your Visvim comment$ lol :) all too real.

[@louisvau4132]

good list but i think kapital should have been on the list too behind visvim

[@THECASUALco]

Not impactful enough globally, it’s good but Kapital has been supremely overrated due to its flavor of the month status. Love Kapital but it’s no where near as influential as any on this list.

[@nazeembrockman3310]

Why is Junya Watanabe not on the list?

[@punkyoliverio]

Spot on

[@mikedonovan9783]

Btw, since you talk about Number nine in this top 10, what do you think about Takahiro Miyashita new brand : the Soloist ? Like, its design and quality ?

[@muhammadjondoniyorov5871]

Uniqlo is what countrie's brand?

[@christianchalmers1546]

How you feel about Final Home

[@THECASUALco]

Conceptual "label" that has very intense ideas and explores those ideas beyond just fashion. It's thoughtful work and requires more study to truly appreciate it.

When you listen to ASAP Rocky once

[@willjames3735]

@@ShotsMerkzAll you’re shooting at the wrong guy, I’m more of a design nerd and I’m a lot more interested in clothes than I am ASAP Rocky. I just really think Kapital deserves a spot on this list for too many reasons to go into here, it’s consistent at producing interesting takes on Americana with Japanese techniques and has been a pioneer of a lot of ideas in Japanese fashion that have made a large impact in both Japan and the west.

[@THECASUALco]

While I agree Kapital is great, it’s impact is just not as much as the others. Which would be taken off the “ALL-TIME” list. In fact I’d put Evisu on before Kapital or even Studio D’Artisan. On the design front, personally, Kapital is great. A bit overrated but still great but it simply isn’t global enough to be considered among the best ever from Japan.

[@colts822]
