Nobuki Hizume explores headpiece design through brand HIZUME

Designer Nobuki Hizume, the creator of the brand HIZUME, is making a mark in the fashion industry through highly sculptural and dynamic headpieces and caps. Originally aspiring to be a fashion designer, Hizume was inspired by the Tokyo and Paris fashion scenes of the 1990s and early 2000s.

After experiencing challenges in the European fashion mainstream as an Asian designer, Hizume transitioned to headpiece design. This shift was driven by the freedom found in the craft and the ability for a single individual to exert significant creative influence within the production process. Hizume’s work has included notable projects such as headpieces for the Japanese production of the Broadway musical ‘The Boy from Oz’ and collaborations with brands like Comme des Garçons.
