Inspired by the street silhouettes of Japan

I have always been fascinated with how such a small homogenous country can breed such strong subcultures. I am particuarly fascinated with the stark contrast between the ‘Harajuku Girl’ archetype and the traditional Geisha girl. The obnoxiously frivolous and excessively beautiful silhouettes of the modern Harajuku girl stands side by side with the sartorial and delicate craftsmanship of the kimono and traditional Japanese clothing. When I design I like to think that alone, the garments nod to the detailed and precise construction of Japanese traditional textiles but when layered or eccentrically styled together, are a homage to the quirky and playful personalities of the Harajuku girls. This allows the pieces to be the wearers own unique canvas.

Cherish your culture. Culture and Authenticity:

Itadaki began as a way to express my Japanese heritage. Being half Japanese but raised in Australia, Itadaki began as a way for me to feel closer to my Japanese roots and immerse myself in the culture whilst not actually being present in it.

The brand is my way of celebrating connection through culture and community. It stands as a tribute to our collective families, to our loved ones, to all those that have nurtured each of our unique, authentic selves.

Cherish your culture.

Cherish your clothing: Transparency and the Slow Fashion Movement

It takes so much to create a single piece of clothing. Working in the fashion industry for a couple years now it is abundantly clear how much time, effort and skill goes into producing each and every garment.

It is so important to us that the value of craftsmanship and the appreciation for quality clothing is honoured. We want our pieces to be cherished for a lifetime.

As a small brand we understand our impact and responsibility in the industry, and will always strive to be innovative, resourceful and transparent. All our pieces are made in small limited runs and we work with a lot of deadstock fabrics. We could not be more proud to be cultivating a community of conscious consumers that can appreciate the value and process of the clothing they wear.

Cherish your clothing.
