Brand information:
Gomme is the kind of brand that you discover and quickly realise has made all the beautiful clothes you dare to dream of. The brand encapsulates a more sophisticated Harajuku style as opposed to the colourful and fun clothing brands often associated with Harajuku, such as Hysteric Glamour. Designer Hiroshige Maki left Yohji Yamamoto’s Y’s in August 1989 and set up his own design studio just a month later. Gomme’s designs deal with deconstruction and reconstruction of fabrics often reminiscent of 19th century traditional Japanese drapery. But Gomme has also often taken inspiration from utility clothing and sportswear. Gomme’s strongest point is their detail-oriented and quality-conscious design process, which is very much on par with major fashion houses. This is probably what you can expect from a former Yohji Yamamoto designer. Hiroshige Maki describes his atelier as “old-fashioned” in terms of design approach and handcraft. We think Gomme is beautiful Japanese avant-garde asymmetry in its essence.
