barbell object approaches clothing as an ongoing experiment in material, structure, and form. Operating with a deliberate sense of anonymity, the Japanese label develops garments through extensive research into fabric, construction, and finishing techniques.

Contrasting elements—new and old, rough and refined, functional and expressive—are brought into careful balance through a process of continual refinement. The result is clothing with a distinct physical presence, shaped as much by curiosity and craftsmanship as by conventional notions of style.

Our first season of barbell object is now available online and in stores.
