Camoshita

Camoshita is a Japanese menswear label that draws inspiration from 1960s American and French menswear. Their one-of-a-kind designs and relaxed, tailored pieces give modern gentlemen a vintage vibe. Designer Yasuto Kamoshita uses elements such as a soft, relaxed shoulder and a unique color palette to create original designs and an authentic brand that represents "the Japanese way to dress."

Yasuto Kamoshita is one of menswear's most influential and photographed figures. United Arrows, founded by Kamoshita and others in 1989, has revolutionized Japanese menswear retail. He was previously the buyer for the men's department and is now the company's creative director.

Camoshita, Kamoshita's quasi-eponymous brand, began as a more personal project for Kamoshita. He is part of a small group of Japanese men who kept the Ivy style alive after it died out in America. Camoshita's unique color palette is inspired by Yasuto Kamoshita's admiration for 1960s American and French fashion and style icons such as Steve McQueen, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Serge Gainsbourg. Camoshita combines this American style with the increasingly popular and similarly soft-shouldered Southern Italian style.

Despite these obvious influences, Camoshita is unmistakably Japanese. According to Kamoshita, the brand is "about the Japanese way of dressing." Camoshita's tailored clothing is made in Japan and is rooted in classic menswear tradition while evoking a whimsical taste and a laid-back attitude.
