VILLAIN COVER PRINT T-SHIRT

After graduating from Tokyo Mode Gakuen and working as a corporate designer, designer Masayuki Ino established doublet in 2012 alongside pattern maker Takashi Murakami. In 2013, he was selected as a business support designer for the Professional Category of the Tokyo New Designer Fashion Awards, where he won the top honor, the Tokyo Governor's Award. With a concept of "daily wear with an element of surprise," the brand creates playful, wearable clothing. A hallmark of doublet’s designs is its sophisticated embroidery technique, which involves layering various letters and motifs, as seen in their humorous fringe-style embroidery and signature souvenir jackets. After receiving the 3rd Tokyo Fashion Award in 2016, the brand debuted its first runway show at Tokyo Fashion Week in 2017, and in 2018, it won the LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize, cementing its status as one of the most talked-about brands in the industry today.
