NAMESAKE unveiled its Spring/Summer 2022 collection through a video campaign directed by David Witton-Davies.

“2022 marks the 10 years after leaving Tokyo, where our blurry youths were spent acting recklessly to protect our frightened inner souls. With this collection, we want to touch upon the tender sides of a brother and family relationship, where fights and bad communications are inevitable. While living by ourselves in Tokyo as adolescence, we have to learn to live together and to migrate into a new social life. We continuously learn the importance of sympathy and empathy through endless friction. The focus of the collection is a reflection on the process of entering a new unknown place as adolescents. Without knowing the language, and facing fear with anxiety, we find ways to overcome obstacles and paranoia to self prove, to self protect, and to find ways to assimilate into the social circles. After school times were spent tirelessly practicing in the gym and the river stream next to the school. Foolishly, relentlessly, and courageously wasting our time away —— in the end to relentlessly find our own inner utopia in an apocalyptic territory.”
