Discover the diverse range of Kidoriman and create a streetwear set that truly stands out. In this fashion design challenge, combine bottoms and tops from our most recent collections, infusing your personality with authentic Kanji characters.

Kidoriman, the premier brand for Japanese streetwear, invites you to unleash your creativity. Design a new style set, featuring bottoms, a t-shirt, and an optional jacket, that embodies the brand's ethos and makes a statement.

Craft your designs using premium cotton or linen blends. Experiment with a wide array of colors, patterns, and graphic elements to capture the judges' attention. Kanji characters (漢字) are available to give your design an edge. These characters often convey compact messages that describe the brand or the wearer, adding an exotic flair inspired by the Land of the Rising Sun.
