kolor TURTLENECKS

Japanese label kolor crafts sophisticated ready-to-wear with a defined focus on texture, detail, and construction. The Tokyo-based brand was founded in 2004 by esteemed designer Junichi Abe, who graduated from Bunka Fashion College before going on to work as a patternmaker for Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons. Pulling influences from sportswear, militaria, and menswear archetypes, the label is known for its original reconstructions of classic silhouettes: bomber jackets with one-sided spread collars or knit crew necks with overlapping, mismatched hems. With its inventive take on practical styles, kolor offers an everyday wardrobe that always manages to challenge convention.
