A MACHINE

Making clothes for sampling, with vintage references left intentionally visible

Led by Keisuke Kanai, A MACHINE began as an interior brand before expanding into fashion with its Fall/Winter 2018 collection. At the core of the brand is a sampling approach that extracts elements from vintage clothing while deliberately revealing their sources, drawing out the accidental qualities inherent in garment construction and materials. Guided by the concept “You are not a machine but like a machine,” A MACHINE explores both human imperfection and mechanical repetition at once.
