Kozaburo

Kozaburo is the namesake label of designer Kozaburo Akasaka who was born in Tokyo in 1984.

Kozaburo graduated from Central Saint Martins with a first-class degree in menswear in 2011, relocating to the US that same year to work with Thom Browne. In 2013, Kozaburo enrolled at Parsons School of Design, leaving in 2016 to kickstart his namesake label 'Kozaburo'.

Kozaburo Akasaka’s inspiration for the creation of his sub-label WAVE OF SAND derives from GI Pants, the uniform pants for Japanese karate. This Brooklyn-based designer rediscovered the potential of the GI pants and created a piece to fit various body types, ages, and genders. These  signature pants are versatile pieces that could be worn at home, at the dojo, or for your great outdoor adventures.
