Fall / Winter 1988 image visual catalog of the collection "Tokio Kumagai Homme" by legendary designer Tokio Kumagai. Speaking of the DC boom of the 1980s, brands such as Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garcons, Takeo Kikuchi, Bigi, and Nicole are very famous, but the brands that people in the know know are "Tokio. Kumagai ". Launched in the early 1980s, it was once popular in the Tokyo collection, but Kumagai died suddenly in 1987. After that, designers such as Masaki Matsushima and Yoichi Nagasawa who were active after the 90's took over and continued for several years, but in 1991 they completely withdrew. He moved to Paris early in the early 70's and was recognized as a freelance designer. In 1981, he opened the flagship boutique in Paris. After that, full-scale development began under the capital of a major domestic apparel company, but "Tokio Kumagai" left in the middle of the road. This collection is probably a work of the era when Matsushima and Nagasawa started to design after Kumagai died. The photo was taken by master Peter Lindbergh.
