All manufacturing reflects something of the artist or designer's roots and influences. That is why individuality is born.
The same goes for UTGY, a new brand to watch this fall/winter.
The collection is a straightforward expression of designer Yota Utsugi's own contemplation of "who I am," "how I have lived my life up to now, and how I will live it in the future.
This collection features only pants. Raised by his mother, Eri Utsugi, a designer, he felt lonely because of her busy schedule, but at the same time, he came to respect her as a designer.
That is why I thought that reinterpreting my mother's signature sarouel pants, which she had worn for as long as I can remember, would be an important clue to creating a brand that projects myself.
The brand name "U.T.G.Y." is a combination of the surname and the designer's own initials. The roots of the utsugi in the visual represent the determination of the brand.
The item will not be available for sale for a little while, but we will keep you posted.
