Founded by Hirofumi Kiyonaga, SOPHNET incorporates three different brands: the mainline SOPHNET alongside two subbrands F.C. Real Bristol (FCRB) and Uniform Experiment.
SOPHNET was introduced as a halfway point between the many streetwear brands in Tokyo popping up during the late 90s and older, more established Japanese fashion brands. The most recognisable garments from the mainline tend to lie on the border somewhere between casual and formal. In past seasons, two items that have really stood out due to the frequency they have been designed are blazers and plaid shirts. It’s a brand renowned for its liberal usage of bright patterning across patches, stripes, floral patterns and other vibrant accents. In terms of colour usage, the brand is known for use of blues and greens.
