“Genderless, Ageless, Borderless”, — it’s the slogan of japanese brand FINDERS KEEPERS. It’s led by Kazuyki Akitani (aka HIPSTER), the talented designer that addicted by hip-hop music, skateboarding culture and the legacy of japanese fashion. All of these things were the base for FINDERS KEEPERS new collection, full of 1990s spirit.

Mr. Akitani told us about new t-shirts and collaboration with junior brand EDGE OF TIME. So we did few shooting and looked on that clothing without gender, age and other borders.

Kazuyki Akitani: From S/S 2018 collection, the axis of the design concept has shifted from American Casual to skating and hip-hop culture, and it reflects the Tokyo fashion of the 1990s strongly.

HIPSTER

The design of this T-shirts firstly emphasized the balance. Do not make the message and design you want to convey too strong.
“HIPSTER” is a tattoo on my right hand with the words that I value most. The etymology of words is a wonderful poem that the poets of the 50’s beatnik chanted.

This is a collaboration with a junior brand called EDGE OF TIME. This graphic has a lot of printing techniques that he can not do with his first design and he is a professional of T-shirt prints. The print of this time is also one of those technologies. Since the Black version had already been released from his brand, deliveries were developed with tie dye in summer as well.
