From the folklore of Odo Island to Godzilla’s first appearance in 1954, water has always been part of the monster’s origin. The collection translates that relationship through fabric, finish, and form.

Denim was chosen for its natural relationship with water, while garment washing is used throughout the collection to create faded tones, weathered textures, and lived-in finishes. Laser treatments burn imagery directly into the fabric, echoing Godzilla’s heat ray.

Through these techniques, TIDES translates Godzilla’s rise from the depths into fabric and form.

SHAPED BY WATER

Denim was chosen as a core fabric for its relationship with water. Just as Godzilla repeatedly emerges from and returns to the sea, the garments undergo their own process through water, developing changes in color, texture, and surface.


Across TIDES, these processes create faded tones, weathered textures, and lived-in finishes that give each garment its own relationship with water.

LASER BURNED

The collection’s use of laser printing draws inspiration directly from Godzilla’s heat ray.


By burning permanent marks into the surface of the fabric, the laser alters its color and texture, translating the destructive technique of the kaiju into the garment itself.
