Timeless Japanese Craft.
Japanese fashion designer Soshi Otsuki and Zara present A Sense of Togetherness, a collaboration rooted in nostalgia for Japan’s ’80s and ’90s culture, expressed through womenswear, menswear and kidswear.
Born in Chiba Prefecture in 1990, Soshi Otsuki studied menswear at Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo and founded his eponymous label, SOSHIOTSUKI, in 2015. Since then, it has been renowned for its quietly subversive approach.
With this new chapter alongside Zara, the brand introduces fluid silhouettes and soft proportions in tailoring for women, while menswear reflects Otsuki’s characteristic balance of structure and ease. For children, the collaboration echoes the handmade garments Otsuki remembers from his own formative years.
“I became drawn to the idea of human relationships – family ties, and connections that transcend gender and age,” says Otsuki. “From there, I named the theme A Sense of Togetherness.”
The collection is now available online and in selected stores.
