German-Japanese fashion designer JUN MAYERS creates culturally inspired avant-garde fashion. With his eponymous fashion label, he combines craftsmanship with purism. He explores the accumulation of meaning by infusing his creations with autobiographical elements and intense existential significance. By developing his own innovative reconstruction techniques and producing his own sustainable textiles, he challenges conventional clothing production.

Raised in Germany with Japanese roots, he has built his own relationship with his heritage. Japanese aesthetic principles form the foundation of his design. Calmness and irregularity are evident in his use and reuse of textiles. Apparent opposites are united – tradition meets innovation, sobriety meets attention to detail, transience meets longevity, the mundane meets the spiritual.
