KENTO TAKAYAMA is a design studio that translates invisible roles, authority, and narratives into the structure of clothing.
From traditional Japanese hospitality uniforms to stage costumes, each piece is designed to define "who someone is meant to be" in a specific space.
Rather than following trends, KENTO TAKAYAMA focuses on symbolism, structure, and cultural meaning trough bespoke design.
