MISTER IT.
Japanese-born Takuya Isagawa graduated from ESMOD Paris and won the Grand Prix in the Womenswear category at the Young Fashion Designers Festival (Festival International des Jeunes Créateurs de Mode) in Dinard, France in 2012. He went on to work for Maison Margiela’s main collection and couture line before launching his own brand, mister it. Conceived in 2015, the line really took off in 2018. Isagawa brings the couture approach to his own collections: the A/W 2019 lineup offers refined materials, strong, sleek silhouettes and sophisticated layering and asymmetry, with subtle elements of deconstruction. The brand’s symbol, visible on the cuffs, comprises a heart and an image of two people shaking hands, reflecting the brand’s ethos of creating emotionally durable clothing for real people. mister it.’s collections have been bought by I.T (Hong Kong), Edition and Visit For (Japan) as well as other retailers. misterit.jp
