Ujoh: brand story

After years as skilled pattern makers, Mitsuru Nishizaki and Aco founded UJOH in 2009. The brand respects clean lines yet introduces a fresh, innovative perspective on tailoring, intentionally defying convention with asymmetrical and bold cuts. Specifically, UJOH’s sophisticated aesthetic unfolds as it explores the dynamic relationship between body and clothing, blending technical mastery with designs that harmonize with the human form. In fact, every collection showcases meticulously refined details, creating distinctive styling and layering options. In 2019, UJOH launched its men’s line, thoughtfully incorporating elements from traditional clothing motifs like uniforms and military wear. All while staying true to the essence of expert tailoring. The brand debuted at Paris Fashion Week with its 2021 Fall/Winter Collection. And continues to present each season in Paris, bringing its unique vision to an international audience.

The essence of contemporary tailoring

Ultimately, UJOH reshapes tailoring by focusing on structure and lightness through the cutting. And so, utilising signature techniques specific to the brand, the collection merges sleek design with effortless comfort.

Experience the essence of contemporary tailoring with our curated selection from Ujoh, each piece thoughtfully chosen to showcase the brand’s distinctive style.
