-Seasonal theme-
Inspiration from architecture of ''Luis Barragán'' Inspired by the architecture of Los Clubes, a famous Mexican architect. This architecture was designed when Kanemasa was founded, and the collection, which incorporates the richness of color and beauty of form seen in his work, is visually and sensual. Barragán incorporated public elements such as the Lovers' Fountain and the Service Gate, a watering hole designed for horses to rest. This architecture was designed from the perspective of a person riding a horse and is recognized as a monumental space. The 25SS collection takes inspiration from this beautiful architecture and reflects the unique colors and forms of Barragán's work. Vibrant colors such as pink, purple, and ochre are reflected in the white architecture and the large water mirror, creating a dreamlike world. This collection celebrates the beauty and functionality of Barragán's architecture and incorporates its essence into the collection. It expresses a "pink and purple dream seen from the back of a horse." Furthermore, since the brand's inception, we have been committed to using environmentally friendly, sustainable materials and outstanding manufacturing techniques to incorporate new value and timeless elegance into our designs.
