I have loved clothing since childhood and have always wanted to express a personal style that is not bound by conventional values. I began my career in the fashion industry in retail, but soon had the opportunity to create garments and became involved in launching several brands.
\n\nAs I gained experience, my desire grew to build a brand that could freely express what I feel in the present while also being sought after by many people. This led me to establish ENF\u00d6LD in 2012.
\n\nUnder the concept of \u201cHidden Beauty\u201d, ENF\u00d6LD pursues the beauty that resides within structure and balance. We translate subtle discomfort and new balances found in everyday life into clothing, proposing designs that resonate with the wearer\u2019s inner self.<\/p>\n
\u2500\u2500 What is the brand\u2019s concept? What do you want to communicate through fashion designing?<\/strong><\/p>\t\n ENF\u00d6LD is for women who face their daily feelings honestly, are not constrained by fixed ideas, and live according to their own values. We envision women who seek individuality and authenticity within their everyday lives.<\/p>\n \u2500\u2500 What is your source of inspiration in creating fashion? What is your process of developing a design concept?<\/strong><\/p>\t\n My inspiration comes from emotions and subtle discomforts felt in daily life, fleeting scenes, as well as art, architecture, and structures found in nature\u2014sensibilities that exist close at hand.<\/p>\n \u2500\u2500 Who are your current stockists (areas, retail formats, etc.)? Describe the typical followers of your brand.<\/strong><\/p>\t\n In Japan, we operate 13 directly managed stores primarily in department stores, alongside wholesale distribution to select shops and online sales. Our customers are individuals who resonate with ENF\u00d6LD\u2019s values and aesthetic.<\/p>\n \u2500\u2500 Which brands, designers, styles and cultures have had the most impact on your fashion designing, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\t\n \tRather than being influenced by a specific brand or designer, I am greatly inspired by various forms of artistic expression such as art, architecture, and sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 Why have you chosen Tokyo (Rakuten Fashion Week TOKYO) as the venue for presenting your collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n Until now, ENF\u00d6LD has built its own values without staging runway shows, focusing on garment structure and the relationship between clothing and the body. Through participating in Rakuten Fashion Week, we aim to present our perspective more directly and three-dimensionally.\n \u2500\u2500 What is the concept \/ image for your brand’s 2026 AW season?<\/strong><\/p>\n \tThe theme for the Fall\/Winter 2026 season is ‘Living Sculpture.’ We explore the idea of clothing as a sculptural presence that comes to life through movement and interaction with the body.\n \u2500\u2500 What is your vision for your show \/ installation?<\/strong><\/p>\n For this show, based on the theme ‘Living Sculpture,’ we will present a space where garments and the body interact, highlighting structure, balance, and the vitality that emerges through movement.\n \u2500\u2500 What are your brand\u2019s future outlook and goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n \tENF\u00d6LD will continue to explore the structure of garments and their relationship with the body, communicating our values from a unique perspective while expanding our presence both in Japan and internationally.\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 What does Tokyo represent for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Tokyo is a city where diverse values coexist. Places rich in history and quietude exist alongside cutting-edge culture, and this contrast is one of its greatest attractions.\n \u2500\u2500 Which parts \/ sites of Tokyo do you like most? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n The areas around Yoyogi Park and Meiji Shrine allow you to feel the presence of nature. In the calm atmosphere, your physical senses become aligned and clear.\n \u2500\u2500 What are your favorite \/ recommended shops (of any genres, e.g. fashion stores, homeware stores, food services), facilities and sites?<\/strong><\/p>\n SUPER LOVE MARKET (Shibuya)![\"\"](\"https:\/\/rakutenfashionweektokyo.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/enfold_01.jpg\")
