Do you know Niko Sakaki, a painter who uses ore as pigment in her works? His name is already well-known among art lovers with an early ear, and he is being watched with keen interest as a hot newcomer.
The event "STONE WATER" will be held in collaboration with the Italian-born sports brand "ellesse".
Elesse has chosen "ORES" as its inspiration for the 2024 season; ORES means a piece of the earth, or ore, and it was at this point that the connection with Sakaki was born.
In addition, at Sakaki's suggestion, MOTTY, an art director and graphic designer with whom he has originally interacted, and who has done jacket art direction and graphic design for artists such as Kaze Fujii and Perfume, joined the project.

¥11,000 SIZE：M, L, XL
In this way, "STONE WATER" can be enjoyed from various angles, including art and fashion. This is a rare opportunity to experience the fresh talent of Jingo Sakaki. We hope you will come and visit.
