PHILOSOPHY

The CFCL brand name stands for Clothing For Contemporary Life. Instead of fashion that expresses the tastes and mindset of an individual designer, CFCL’s clothing is designed to serve as tools for people to use in their lives.

Our clothing for contemporary life comprises three elements: sophistication, consciousness, and comfort and easy care. From daily life to going out to eat at a restaurant, the CFCL style is highly compatible with different scenarios while still being easy to maintain at home and, moreover, responsibly made.

The brand’s core computer programming-aided knitwear is a technology that designer Yusuke Takahashi encountered as a student, and has used for almost all CFCL’s products ever since the brand was launched. Knitwear is generally regarded as casual clothing and rarely worn on special occasions. But today, people want clothing that is more comfortable and easy to move around in. Stretchy and able to fit a wide range of body shapes. Uncomplicated and cozy. CFCL believes knitwear is the right choice for contemporary life.

Since programming-aided knitwear dispenses with the need to cut the material, it results in almost no waste. Moreover, selecting recycled and certified materials makes it possible to produce clothing with a reduced impact on the environment. CFCL was founded in 2020 in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. In those volatile times, CFCL chose to enter the fashion industry––one of the most polluting industries in the world—because clothing is not only indispensable but also still incredibly influential. In the belief that fashion has the power to change how people feel, think, and act, we create clothing for our contemporary lives.

For more on CFCL’s consciousness, please see this page.
