About THE FOUND.
Taking artist Shusaku Takaoka's collage work as its starting point, THE FOUND. sets out to help people rediscover the everyday in new forms. Faded fabric, old illustrations, fragments of memory — the brand translates the materials Takaoka reconstructs into clothing, tailoring each piece to feel as natural as breathing in everyday life. Standing between past and present, art and daily life, THE FOUND. is a brand that continues the act of "finding" through clothing.
