A former pattern maker for Junya Watanabe and designer for his namesake label under the Comme Des Garçons umbrella, Fumito Ganryu finally found his own lane of personal expression after the launch of his eponymous label in 2017. Ganryu’s collections are a marked process of creating balance – synthetic materials are harmoniously fused with traditionally processed fabrics, producing garments that perfectly blend natural function with urban wearability. Unexpected patterns pulled from nature combine with modern-cut silhouettes that sport exaggerated proportions, ultimately reinforcing Fumito Ganryu’s goal of designing futuristic clothing for the 21st century.
