White Mountaineering is a Japanese outdoors-inspired label founded by Yosuke Aizawa after years of working as Junya Watanabe's assistant at Rei Kawakubo's COMME des GARCONS. As one of the few designers who adhere to outdoor styles, Aizawa expresses the perceptions and emotions about life through his design. The brand concept lies in the imaginative integration of design, utility and technique and a focus on patterns, colorways and tailoring. It fuses pragmatism with a retro aesthetic to create pieces with high-quality fabrics, structured silhouettes and a high-tech performance. Besides collaboration with UNIQLO, the brand also teams up with GRAMICCI, Danner, and Barbour to release cooperative collections.
