Sacai (stylized in lowercase) is a Japanese luxury fashion brand founded by fashion designer Chitose Abe (née Chitose Sakai) in 1999.[1][2] Vogue magazine has cited Sacai as influential in breaking down the dichotomy between casual and formal clothing.[3]
History
Abe grew up in Gifu prefecture making clothes for dolls. Her mother was a seamstress.[4] Abe worked as a pattern cutter for Comme des Garçons and later worked for Junya Watanabe.[5]
From 2016 to 2022, Sacai collaborated with Sophie Bille Brahe, The North Face, Beats Electronics, Apple, A.P.C., Nike and Dior.[6][7][8][9]
