When did you first develop your passion for clothing and materials?

It was with a sweatshirt that my mom bought me. It was made using a loopwheel machine. I still remember the sensation of the lining when I wore it which was soft and comfortable. It was that sweatshirt that started my passion for materials and clothing.

What was your motivation to create Loopwheeler?

The loopwheel fabric has the best texture and it makes perfectly original sweatshirts. Japan is the only country that still has the technology to knit loopwheel fabric for sweatshirts and there are only 200 loopwheel machines left in the world.
