Pre-Spring 2025 Editorial by HAVEN
As we step into 2025, we pause to reflect on the brands, both new and old, whose creativity, craftsmanship, and vision align with our values. The gradual shift from winter’s chill to spring’s promise invites renewal, with versatile layers and timeless design serving as essential companions. Through these transitions, we celebrate the enduring connection between thoughtful craftsmanship and everyday functionality.
Look 1 - A.PRESSE
Led by Kazuma Shigematsu, A.PRESSE reimagines vintage silhouettes through a contemporary Japanese lens, balancing understated aesthetics with meticulous craftsmanship and premium fabrics. While the designs draw from rich American and French influences, a closer look reveals the depth of each piece—distinguished by proprietary textiles and a dedication to overlooked, old-world craftsmanship.As one of the first North American stockists, we’re proud to showcase A.PRESSE’s thoughtful approach to modern essentials, reinforcing a philosophy that aligns with our own commitment to timeless design.
Look 2 - ROA
Emerging in 2015 with a vision that merged fashion forward thinking and cutting-edge outdoor technology, ROA has quickly carved out a unique space in the market. By applying sportswear principles to their process, ROA blends innovative materials and advanced construction techniques, creating high-performance pieces grounded in a distinct outdoor aesthetic. Each product reflects ROA's hybrid attitude toward the landscape—crossover designs that prioritize durability, utility, and a refined, contemporary sensibility.
Look 3 - ssstein
A new addition to our roster, ssstein exemplifies refined minimalism through sharp tailoring and relaxed silhouettes. Founded in 2016 by Kiichirō Asakawa, the brand balances understated elegance with functional versatility. Subtle, considered details elevate each piece, transforming finely crafted designs into adaptable garments for modern living.
Look 4 - Cav Empt
Founded in 2012 by SK8THING and Toby Feltwell, Cav Empt sits at the crossroads of streetwear and graphic innovation. Blending military, workwear, and classic streetwear shapes with a unique visual language, the brand’s name, derived from ‘Caveat Emptor’—Latin for “let the buyer beware”—embodies their commitment to creative freedom. This philosophy has transformed Cav Empt from a niche project into a cultural force, blurring boundaries with every new release.
Look 5 - visvim
As one of the more long-standing brands at HAVEN, visvim resonates with us deeply—not just for what it creates but for how it approaches creation. Each piece is a reflection of tradition, crafted with sincerity and a reverence for techniques passed down through generations. It’s not just about the fabrics or construction; it’s about the consideration of heritage and master craftmanship that gives each piece its timeless appeal.
