Kolor

About Kolor

Kolor was founded in 2004 by Japanese designer Junichi Abe, a graduate of Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo. Before starting the label, Abe worked on the launch of Junya Watanabe's line for Comme des Garçons, gaining a close view of how the industry works. Kolor's flagship store opened in Tokyo in 2009. Abe describes his approach as matching three fundamentals of clothes-making: fabric, cutting and sewing specs, and prefers his collections to carry a hazy, uncertain mood rather than a fixed theme. The brand also produces womenswear and a kolor BEACON line.
