“I’ve enjoyed the process of repurposing vintage kimonos into exclusive couture tuxedo jackets. During my recent trip to Tokyo, I handpicked kimonos from vintage shops that truly spoke to me. Having lived and worked there for 13 years - first with Rei Kawakubo at Comme des Garcons and then launching my eponymous label - this project resonates deeply with my personal creative journey. My kimono jackets not only honor the garment’s heritage but also create unique, modern couture pieces that celebrate their new purpose.”

-Nigel Curtiss

THE PROCESS: COUTURE KIMONO JACKETS


For all their enduring beauty, vintage kimonos are often worn only once for a special occasion. Through Nigel’s upcycled couture process, each kimono is meticulously selected for its unique artistry and craftsmanship, breathing new life into these traditional garments with our modern suiting pieces.

Nigel transforms these kimonos into one-of-a-kind, custom jackets, showcasing his unwavering commitment to sustainability through the unique art of upcycling couture.
