YOKE
We pay attention to materials and patterns, adding contemporary elements to standard items.
We propose sophisticated items that can be worn by both men and women.
The brand name YOKE comes from the word "yoke," which means: It has meanings such as "to connect," "bond," and "the fabric used to join different pieces of clothing together," which aligns with the brand's concept.
The process of making a single piece of clothing involves:
Raw materials → Yarn → Fabric → Cutting → Sewing → Finishing
Many people are involved in the process from concept to product.
Clothing is created when these things " connect. " The brand firmly understands these processes and the connections between them. It embodies the idea of "things connecting people, people connecting people, and people connecting things."
The designer is Norio Terada .
After graduating from the design course at Bunka Gakuen University of Fashion, I gained experience working for domestic brands and select shops.
After gaining experience in design and production management, I became independent in 2016. I started YOKE with the Fall/Winter 2018 collection.
"Connected Military Blouson"
A military-style jacket that reconstructs the M-65 Fishtail Parka and quilted liner. The coat's length is cut to a blouson-style length, revealing the quilted liner underneath. The pockets on the quilted liner side can also be used. The sleeves are also disassembled and sewn together with the liner, creating an incongruous surplus of fabric. The design is inspired by Man Ray's surrealist objects, constructing a combination of different items. *The amount of filling in the sample quilted liner is approximately the middle ground between the olive and black versions.
Fabric
The outer fabric is made of water-repellent cotton-nylon poplin, and the lining is made of nylon taffeta.
