LIKE UMAMI
TOKO is like umami. The fifth flavour that deepens the experience of taste. An aim to widen your horizon, through design that comes from observation and research. Each garment tells a narrative that reflects the world around you.
Design can transcend you beyond the familiar. Curiosity enables connections that reflect more deeply who you are, not just where you are from.
Therefore, to properly express oneself, the palate must be as complex as possible.
DESIGNER
David Bowie explained it best, "Always remember that the reason that you initially started working is that there was something inside yourself that you felt that if you could manifest in some way, you would understand more about yourself and how you coexist with the rest of society."
Designing with care and intention. - Katja Horstman
Difference between cultures are inspiring and spark curiosity. Incorporating culture into design, gives us more knowledge about the world around us.
