It is no secret that Japan's fishing scene is on the rise. As people around the culture started doing it, the trend inevitably spilled over into the fashion world.
There is a brand that incorporates elements of fishing in the international mode world. It is Botter, a talented brand that was selected as a finalist in the LVMH Prize, a gateway to success for young designers, in 2018. Despite its independent form, the brand is also known for its efforts to address the issue of marine pollution.
Spring/Summer 2022 Collection
Although not shown in the photo above, one of his best-known works is an accessory using lures. The lures are handmade by Japanese fishing tackle shops and are used in necklaces and other accessories every season.
Botter" will hold a pop-up event at Dover Street Market GINZA from May 14 (Sat.).
This time, the exhibition is not just a display of clothes, but also an artwork in collaboration with Ciro Duclos, an artist from Amsterdam. As you can see in the post below, a lure moves like a real fish in a water-filled tank. The lure's appearance is superimposed on the life of a person who struggles to move forward.
The artist himself will be in Japan for the event. Of course, you will be able to pick up a variety of new Bottar products.
If you are interested in this brand, please visit them. You will surely feel the passion of the two ocean-loving designers.
