Japanese Streetwear Brands

[englandmj7]

I hate to to categorize because I know not all of these brands fall under the category of "streetwear" if that is even a category, but I am going to be making a website/report on Japanese brands for the hell of it and could use some advice if you have it.......

I am looking for some brands I could add to the list; up-and-comers, brands no longer in existence, etc........maybe some good Japanese denim brands, accessories, etc.? I am trying not to branch into higher fashion i.e. Comme des Garcons, Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, etc. Here is what I have so far:

Number (N)ine

w)Taps

Neighborhood

Masterpiece

Visvim

Head Porter

Fragment

Undercoverism/Zamiang

Sophnet

Real Mad Hectic

Bounty Hunter

Hysteric Glamour

Bathing Ape

Lad Musician

Beams

Evisu

Atmos

Ubiq

Revolver

Devilock

Lowrider

Fenom

Red Moon

Thanks!!

[misterdobalina]

you'd rather try to help, hansdampf.

i cleaned out the non jp labels and double posts.

[hahnstch]

^ hater...

there are still a few brands that go unmentioned yet like nesta, frapbois, msgr, unrivaled (which i think is related to let it ride in some ways), kazzrock originals, name value, untold, novadelic, metropia, hide and seek, rats, hex antistyle, stakes are high, redfive, monsta, and the list goes on and on

er, ok thats not a few...

[Bronson]

Stakes are high and Redfive are US based but designed only for a JP market.

It's the same guy how used to do redfive in SF.....

Unrivled used to be called Let it ride...from what I understand.

Milspex -

Thanks alot for the offer, I am sure I will take you up on that! I am just in the preliminary research stage now, getting some photos, sites, etc. but when I am done eventually, it should be pretty informative. I am tired of not being able to find shit when I want, I am sure alot of you guys know how I feel.

And thanks to the rest of you, I am going to check all this stuff out!!

Are any of these sepcifically denim companies?

Is sugarcane or warehouse Japanese?
