Pleated Shirt

Fumito Ganryu's Pleated Shirt represents the designer's commitment to bridging nature and urban life through clothing that feels simultaneously futuristic and timeless. After a decade refining his craft under the Comme des Garçons umbrella, Ganryu launched his eponymous label with a clear vision: create garments that encourage dialogue between traditional Japanese techniques and twenty-first-century sensibilities.

The pleating technique showcases Ganryu's pattern-making expertise developed during his years with Junya Watanabe. Strategic pleats create visual texture and dimensional movement, allowing the shirt to shift and breathe with the wearer's body. The construction plays with volume in unexpected ways—gathered at certain points, released at others, creating a silhouette that reads as sculptural yet remains entirely wearable. The collar and cuffs maintain classic shirting codes, grounding the avant-garde pleating in familiar territory.

Crafted from premium cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, the shirt demonstrates Ganryu's philosophy of balance: synthetic innovation harmoniously fused with traditionally processed materials. The pleating creates natural temperature regulation and enhanced comfort, while the fabric's hand feel speaks to quality sourcing. Each pleat is permanently set through precise manufacturing processes, ensuring the design integrity lasts through repeated wear and cleaning.
