About A.PRESSE
A.PRESSE is a relatively new Japanese fashion brand, founded in 2021 by Kazuma Shigematsu. The brand's philosophy is to act like an "editorial department for clothing," creating seasonal collections akin to publishing new issues of a magazine. Their focus is on timeless, classic designs with high-quality craftsmanship. They intentionally avoid flashy, trend-driven elements, instead embracing a vintage aesthetic and practical, gender-neutral silhouettes. Signature items include tailored outerwear, denim jackets inspired by 1940s military designs, and comfortable everyday pieces like cardigans and polo shirts.
A.PRESSE's pieces are characterized by meticulous attention to detail, such as using selvedge denim with historically accurate thread constructions. The brand appeals to both men and women, with versatile designs that blend retro charm with modern practicality. Though still niche, A.PRESSE has quickly gained recognition for its focus on craftsmanship and classic styles.
