Genderless fashion series: 3 Japanese brands for minimalist style!

In recent years, genderless fashion has been gaining attention all over the world. In Japan, some brands have released genderless collections, and new genderless brands have launched.

As we explored previously, Japan’s current genderless fashion promotes the freedom to choose how we dress. It aims to raise inclusivity for not only gender but also age and body shape.

This series will introduce different types of Japan’s genderless fashion brands. For the first edition, we picked three brands that focus on minimalist style!

0 STOCK TOKYO made with care for environment through Japanese craftmanship

0 STOCK TOKYO is completely made-to-order for sustainability. By manufacturing to order, the brand eliminates holding large stocks, thus preventing mass disposal of clothing. This is not only for the environment but also to preserve craftsmanship in Japan.

Clothing manufacturers often struggle with continuous employment due to the gap between peak and off-peak periods. Hence, the brand leaves the timing of production up to the factory. It takes six months to a year from order to delivery, but the brand can minimize the unnecessary cost of production this way.

The brand thrives on producing “clothing that minimalists keep forever,” and the products are simple yet highly functional. If you are looking for environmentally friendly, Japan-made genderless clothing, this is it!

CALMER was launched in March with a focus on effortlessness, utility, minimalism and non-binary style. CALMER designs its items so that customers would want to wear them forever. The design is simple yet detail-oriented. Hence, rather than simply being larger clothing for both men and women, CALMER designs clothes so that they look stylish even when adjusting the length to one’s figure.

CALMER’s items are available only online at the moment. But, it plans to open a pop-up store every season, so keep an eye out for one near you!

INSCRIRE started in 2017 with the philosophy that fashion should be loving, exciting and liberating. It only had items for women in the beginning, but a genderless collection called CLUB SPORTS has recently been released. The items are designed to be the finest in functionality, comfort and materials, which makes them perfect for relaxing. Although the brand categorizes items by sex on the website, many of them have a wide range of sizes. If you like sporty and relaxing styles, INSCRIRE is perfect!

All these brands look simple at first glance, but they all feature attention to detail and ingenuity. INSCRIRE also sells its products in stores, so if you live nearby, check them out at the store as well!
