The sisu design brand has been so successful that it’s now an institution. The brand’s designs are now used by both fashion and home decor brands and even the United States Army. The brand’s signature prints are so popular, they are even used in the military’s official Army Clothing and Badge designs. If you’re not familiar with the sisu brand, it’s all about the prints.
The sisu brand is designed by a Japanese fashion designer, Rei Yamada, who also designed the original line for the Japanese fashion company, Izumi. The brand is known for its prints and has been used by fashion brands like Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and even the United State Army. Rei Yamada is credited with coming up with sisu’s name. The sisu brand makes its mark with prints and designs that are often seen in both traditional and contemporary fashion.
This is one of the reasons why sisu was such a success in Japan. The brand was seen as a sort of Japanese take on western fashion, and it succeeded in that regard. In the US, however, the name sisu is used by many designers who use it to market their own brand, but it’s hard to find the original designs from Yamada’s time on the market.
So you can buy a sisu print from a Japanese designer, but the designs will look very different in the US? Well, that’s not the only way sisu is misrepresented. The brand’s trademark was recently revoked and sisu is now represented by its new name, sisu-design.
The idea of a brand name that comes from the country that it was invented by has always been a bit of a joke. But in the case of sisu-design, the story of its creation really rings true. Yamada Shinsuke was a famous designer from Yamada Yatsuka, who started his own fashion house to rival the likes of YSL and Versace.
Yamada Shinsuke’s design business was based in Kyoto and his designs were printed in the Osaka book publishing district. But Shinsuke’s life suffered a catastrophic end in a fire at the design headquarters. Yamada’s company’s stock fell by half (shocking) and he committed suicide. So the idea of a designer from Kyoto being represented by a designer from Osaka is a bit of a stretch.
If you’re a designer from Osaka and you’ve made some design work for someone from Kyoto, there is a good chance you’re not really a designer from Japan anymore. And if you’re not a designer from Japan, you don’t really belong in the first place.
The design studio of Yamada has been around for a long time, and it seems as if they’ve always had a good reputation. But it seems like their reputation has gotten a little bit tarnished over the last few years. I wonder if that might be because of the fire that killed Shinsukes, or the way Yamadas has handled the aftermath of the fire.
The design studio has had a rocky history, but the last time I checked was in 2006. They had an exhibition of their latest work at the Tokyo Bunka Art Center, and at the time they said it was just their current work, but now they want us to believe that they were working on a new design. I can see how this might be true, because a lot of their work is in the same style as some of the work from the early 2000s.
Yeah, it is true that the company was involved in making some of their most recent work, but now that they have a new team I can see that this new design is really just a step toward the future. The original design of the game looks just like the Japanese original, but it’s still a lot different from the Japanese version, and at first glance it seems to have been done way too quickly.
