Kentaro Osa, founder of Tokyo label Osakentaro (2014), graduated top of his class from ESMOD Tokyo before building an art-driven womenswear line handcrafted in his own atelier. Known for one-of-a-kind pieces with photo-based textiles (often printed on Tyvek) and sharp, street-lean silhouettes, his work has appeared at Isetan Shinjuku’s ReStyle and in intimate pop-ups like Laforet Harajuku’s SHEEP.
