「新しい表現がしたかった。いま見せているものがすべてではないから。」

KAMIYAで積み重ねてきたスタイルへの自信と、確立されたスタイルに付きまとうステレオタイプへの違和感。
出口の見えない思索の闇に囚われていた折、The Chemical Brothersの「The Darkness That You Fear」と出会い、タイトルとは裏腹な力強さと希望を放つフレーズや曲調に、ブランドが歩むべき道筋を照らし出されたようだった。
26SSコレクションでは、ルードでボーイッシュなアメカジスタイルを抱きしめながら、神谷の奥に眠るドレッシーで艶やかなエッセンスをすくいあげた。

「闇すらも光に変えたいな。」静かにそう呟いた。

“I wanted to give expression to something new. There’s more than what is currently being shown.”

My self-assuredness toward the style developed with KAMIYA is paired with an uneasy feeling about the stereotypes that linger around established styles.
Stuck in the darkness of these thoughts with no exit in sight, I came upon “The Darkness That You Fear” by The Chemical Brothers. Contrary to its title, this song’s phrasing and melody exuded strength and hope, as if it were illuminating the path for the brand to take.
The Spring / Summer 2026 Collection has extracted the dressy and sleek essence that lies deep within KAMIYA while embracing a rude and boyish American-casual style.
The dress shirts’ dull luster produced by their blend of cotton and silk, or materials like cupra, have serendipitous converged with crush processing, revealing how the code that is KAMIYA can be manifested even beyond where established expression intersects with differing cultures.

“I’d love to turn even darkness into light,” I muttered quietly.
