HAVEN interviews Kazuki Kuraishi about his latest work with The North Face
The team at HAVEN recently spoke with designer Kazuki Kuraishi about his latest work with The North Face’s premium line, the Black Series, for Fall/Winter 2018.
Kazuki Kuraishi is a key figure in Japanese streetwear, having worked with brands such as adidas Originals, CASH CA, A BATHING APE as well as his own brand THE FOURNESS. Throughout the interview, Kazuki Kuraishi describes his early encounter with the outdoor brand and how the collaboration came about. Kazuki shared his desire “to do something in order to make it special” as The North Face was such an established company. Rather than tweaking the already existing garments, he created a line up of easy-to-wear pieces that combined functionality and technical wear with streetwear styles and urban practicality.
