"Masahiko Maruyama established Nude in Japan in 1996. The name represents simplicity and easiness not straight forward nudity or pornography. Masahiko started out working at a clothing company that produced character like images. Then decided to try his hand at fashion pieces that were more design orientated, but simple. The main concept of the brand is producing garments that are favored for their high quality and functionality not for their reputation or name. For this reason each garment is labeled with an item number not a brand name."
(quote via OWN Magazine)
Not quite as progressive as some of the other recent Japan based brands that have been posted (i.e. Julius) but I figured I'd try to contribute something. If anyone else knows anything else about the brand / photos / etc... I'd be interested. I'll just post three photos off of http://www.nudemm.com/. If you want to see more go there, posting more here would be a waste of time. Sorry the photos are so big.
(I believe these are from the S/S 06 Women's Collection. Posted because it has the "coordination" photo at the bottom of the pieces being worn)
Had no idea the photos were GIGANTIC as they appear rather small on the website, so I provided links instead. First two are items, third is model shots.
Er... enjoy?
