Ambush

Tokyo style tycoons Verbal and Yoon first launched Ambush in 2008 to distribute the high-end jewelry pieces the pair originally created as accessories for rap star Verbal’s performances. Drawing inspiration from sources ranging from 1950s Americana to Europe’s rebellious post-war youth subcultures, the concept-driven jewelry designers release thematically linked women’s collections that transform everyday shapes into dramatic adornments. Thick gold chain necklaces, bracelets, and chokers crafted in Japan blend Ambush’s roots in hip-hop fashion with a contemporary pop-art aesthetic. Ambush’s bold designs have garnered industry-wide recognition, resulting in collaborations with fashion houses including Sacai, Louis Vuitton, A Bathing Ape, and Maison Kitsuné.
