Co-founder Masaya Kuroki’s design plans for his new 700-square-foot shop were to offer a contrast to the brand’s first New York boutique at the NoMad Hotel, and the masculinity of the neighborhood itself, by articulating the space with bright tin ceilings, varnished oak floors and off-white walls. The entire men’s and women’s line will be on display, along with limited edition T-shirts and sweatshirts.
