Kazuhiro Takakura is a native of Kanagawa, a prefecture located in Greater Tokyo with Yokohama as its capital.He majored in mathematics at university, but after graduation Takakura decided to plunge himself into the world of fashion as an apparel manufacturer.
Launching @IZREEL in 2003, the young designer immediately debuted in Copenhagen and at Bread & Butter in Berlin a year later.
Takakura may be young, but he thoroughly understands the need for flawless designs in a country that presents fierce competition in the menswear industry.
Thus far, he has delivered every time with the precision of a calculating mathematician as he proved, once again, with his 2010 autumn/winter collection at the most recent Japan Fashion Week.
