D. HYGEN

D. HYGEN is a Japanese avant-garde label that embodies the philosophy of Strainism—a concept rooted in tension, balance, and the interplay between form and motion. Designed by two anonymous creators, the brand explores the relationship between the human body and clothing, utilizing force and structure to create garments that feel both restrained and liberated.

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese proverb “HAI_GEN,” D. HYGEN envisions clothing as an extension of the wearer, manipulating the invisible strings of life and time. Each piece is meticulously crafted with precision tailoring and a deep understanding of movement, resulting in designs that merge artistry with function.
