Nobuyuki Matsui

  • Considered menswear
  • Tactile experimentation
  • Reworked tailoring

Nobuyuki Matsui studied psychology before turning to menswear design in London and establishing a Tokyo atelier in 2016. His practice combines bespoke construction and tactile experimentation, reworking historical garments and familiar casual clothing through carefully considered materials, proportions and details.
