BED J.W. FORD SWEATERS

An eye for distinct patterns and textures has asserted Bed J.W. Ford’s status as a noteworthy presence in the realm of contemporary fashion. Founded in Japan by industry newcomers Shinpei Yamagishi and Keisuke Kohsaka, the cryptically named label has perfected a personalized design approach that falls indiscriminately between bespoke formality and elevated streetwear—an embodiment of the eclectic nature of the sartorial present-day. Unifying the label’s oeuvre is a carefully considered color palette: earthy tones give way to vivid pops of color in a recurring motif across collections. Bed J.W. Ford’s ability to synthesize obscure reference points into a succinct, streamlined selection exemplifies the way in which abstract creative processes foster evocative results.
