Teppei Fujita doesn’t know how to use a computer for design. Instead, he sketches and stitches and amends as he goes – a technique he learnt under the tutelage of Japan’s most famous master tailor. A protégé of Yohji Yamamoto, the master of Japanese tailoring, Teppei Fujita’s work plays on his background as a pattern-maker, celebrating visible seams, untrimmed cotton and raw finishes.
