Sans-Limite: Yusuke Monden’s Quiet Revolution in Japanese Fashion.

After sharpening his scissors at Comme des Garçons, Yusuke Monden launched Sans-Limite ("Without Limits") in 2015 — not as a rejection of his mentors, but as a meditation oninvisible boundaries. Here, garments are designed to disappear into the wearer’s skin, yet leave a ghost of rebellion.

The DNA of Sans-Limite.

Cutting as Haiku.

Monden’s signature "floating seams" create garments that look unfinished — until you move. A jacket’s collar might stand rigid at rest, then cascade like a waterfall with a turn of the head.

Fabrics: Organic cotton stiffened with persimmon tannin, silk-cashmere blends that weigh less than a passport.

The "Anti-Fit" Philosophy.

Trousers with seven hidden pleats to accommodate sitting cross-legged or sprinting for a train.

Shirts cut asymmetrically to "respect the body’s natural imbalances."

Color as Sound.

Monden works with a Kyoto lab to develop hues inspired by traditional Japanese onomatopoeia:

"Shin-shin" (新々): The blue of freezing winter mornings.

"Goro-goro" (ごろごろ): The gray of thunderclouds over Osaka Bay.

Key Pieces (And Their Secrets).

"Shadow" Blazer.
Interlined with washi paper for structure, it crinkles like a dried leaf when stored but smooths instantly when worn.

"Kintsugi" Denim.
Raw selvedge repaired with gold-threaded sashiko stitching — each pair comes with a map of its "wound locations."

The "0.1mm" T-Shirt
Knit so finely it folds into an envelope. Worn by architects and monks alike.

"Monden designs for those who understand that freedom isn’t the absence of rules—it’s mastery over them."
