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.
"Nylon Puffer Blouson"
This is a nylon padded blouson. While a nylon blouson is a staple item, this season it has undergone a minor change for a simpler design. The detachable sleeves have been removed, and the front now features a placket to conceal the zipper, creating a more minimalist look. The hem is adjustable with a drawstring. The garment has been garment-washed and tumbled to create puckering at the seams, giving the piece a fuller, more voluminous look. PrimaLoft is used for the filling.
Fabric
Black, solution-dyed nylon is used for the weft, and a chambray effect is used to create a metallic look through irregular reflection. The fabric is finished with a technique that utilizes the heat shrinkage properties of nylon, resulting in fine wrinkles. A water-repellent finish is also applied.
