Aesthetics & History of Denim

Why Japanese denim? You love it because of its fabrics, cuts, and/or quality?

Talking about Japanese denim, we can’t ignore the beautiful history of the denim itself. I love the quality of the denim that Japanese makers can come up with where it’s made. Japan as a culture has every technological advancements known to man, but  they are still aware of the old ways and the essence of the fabric, of the traditional values and ways to make the best denim aesthetics ever. The brands‘ histories are also one of my main reasons for getting into Japanese denim.
