GANRYU
After graduating from the famous Bunka Fashion College, Fumito Ganryu joined the COMME des GARÇONS group as a pattern designer during three years under the orders of JUNYA WATANABE. In 2007, with the backing of Red Kawakubo, he launched his own line GANRYU, following in the footsteps talents like Chitose Abe of sacai and Tao Kurihara of tao (whose label went too soon).
His style is close to the work of Junya Watanabe. Both seemed to take a certain pleasure in taking the most prosaic items of clothing – denim jeans, coach jackets, hoodies – and making them look the same, yet different.
