BLACKMEANS

About BLACKMEANS

BLACKMEANS is a Japanese leather brand that launched with the 2008 autumn/winter season. Its roots lie in Japanese hardcore punk, and that spirit shapes collections drawing on punk, motorcycles, tribal dress and high fashion. Tribal garb is a recurring reference, and the label often reinterprets historical ethnic cloth-cutting methods in radical silhouettes for coats and jackets. Mixing multicultural elements makes the overall effect more striking. Hand-done techniques on its leather jackets reflect the Japanese craftsmanship behind the brand's reputation. Overt freestyle elements often appear in the collections, giving each season an avant-garde edge.
