Auralee is a Tokyo label founded in 2015 by Ryota Iwai, a Bunka Fashion College graduate who trained in pattern cutting and knitwear. Every season starts with bespoke textile development, from Peruvian alpaca and Mongolian cashmere to organic cotton, with production kept in Japan. Menswear and womenswear share one wardrobe of soft tailoring, coats, wide trousers and knitwear in muted, slightly off colours. Iwai opened a Minami-Aoyama flagship in 2017, won the Fashion Prize of Tokyo in 2018, and now shows on the Paris menswear schedule. It remains independent.
