KHOKI

KHOKI is a design collective founded in Tokyo in 2019. Rather than building the label around a single designer, a group of anonymous creatives, with backgrounds in Japanese luxury labels, work on it together. The idea is that clothing should show the hand of the people who made it.

You'll see quilting, embroidery, kantha, suzani, patchwork and unusual cutting regularly turn up, giving familiar garments texture and personality. Collections have included billowy tailoring, barrel-leg pants and workwear jackets reimagined with lace and broderie anglaise, in fabrics that feel worn in. Each season follows a theme, such as fantasy, craft or communal storytelling. Highly crafted, but never too precious to wear.
