Best known for his deep European influences, Naka worked alongside a tailor in the United States and top knitwear designer, Els Arnols, in Antwerp before starting his own label in 2007. Although his tailored suit-coats are stunning, I simply cannot get over how Naka combines his two constructive strengths with his blazers that fade into bulky knit sweaters. 

Naka has yet to open a flagship store, but many of his pieces can be purchased at various department stores throughout Tokyo.
