Fragment 23 is a dynamic fashion collection that seamlessly blends the eclectic street styles of Tokyo and the vibrant energy of New York City. the name came from taking fragmented inspiration from both country's styles and it was created in 2023. Drawing inspiration from the bustling streets of Harajuku and the iconic neighborhoods of Brooklyn and SoHo, this collection captures the essence of urban sophistication with a contemporary twist.

At the heart of the collection is the signature piece: a sleek blue gilet crafted from premium materials, featuring clean lines and innovative design details. This versatile outerwear piece embodies the minimalist aesthetic of Japanese fashion, with a nod to the functional yet stylish sensibility of New York streetwear.

Complementing the gilet is a classic bucket hat, reimagined with a modern edge. Constructed from durable canvas fabric, it adds a playful yet practical element to any ensemble, perfect for shielding against the elements while making a bold fashion statement.

To complete the look, the collection features a pair of relaxed, baggy jeans inspired by the laid-back street style of both Tokyo and NYC. Crafted from high-quality denim, these jeans offer both comfort and style, with oversized pockets and side details folding in clasped by a gold snap button and subtle distressing for a contemporary urban vibe.
