What to know about INSCRIRE
Womenswear built on menswear tailoring
A Tokyo women's label that borrows from men's tailoring and vintage military dress, so the trousers, shirts and boxy coats read androgynous rather than feminine.
Founder came from retail buying
Yumika Oka worked at Nepenthes and as designer, buyer and merchandiser for Deuxieme Classe and Drawer before starting the line in 2017.
Two lines, different tempos
The main collection mixes Japanese and European fabrics in coats, satin jackets and Aran knits; Club Sports & Rich Health reworks 1990s athletic gear.
The pieces that define INSCRIRE
Hybrid Sweat Denim Pants
Half sweatpant, half jean, these spliced trousers are the clearest expression of the label's fabric-mashing, sportswear-meets-workwear instinct.
Explore Hybrid Denim →Fleece Track Set
The fleece track jacket and loose-fit pants carry the Club Sports & Rich Health line's rework of 1990s athletic gear in unisex proportions.

Brand facts

A Tokyo Fashion Award winner, it shows at Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo and sells via SSENSE and Japanese retailers.
