Julius, also known as Julius _7, is a Japanese fashion label founded by Tatsuro Horikawa in 2001. The brand masterfully blends avant-garde aesthetics with urban streetwear, often inspired by the underground techno music scene and Tokyo’s vibrant street culture. MA Julius was established as the label’s diffusion line, whereas its dark, industrial mood theme from Julius’s main collections got carried out in a more affordable price point, frequently feature monochrome tones, embodying the contrast between light and shadow, and symbolizing themes of chaos and suffering. A archival piece from the sub-label’s Spring/Summer 2012 “edge;” collection, featuring a dramatic elongated hood and asymmetrical drape. Crafted from a soft, lightweight knit, this piece echoes ritualistic minimalism with a futuristic silhouette.
