There’s a quiet precision to Divka’s work—a balance between structure and softness that feels architectural, sculptural, and human all at once. Founded in Tokyo by designer Hideaki Fushimi and his partner in both work and life, Yumi Nakano, Divka is shaped by an intimate, intuitive process. They don’t sketch first. Instead, they drape directly on the body—letting form emerge through movement, not measurement.
Their story is one of patience and apprenticeship. Both designers trained under some of Japan’s most influential fashion figures—Hideaki at Yohji Yamamoto, Yumi at Comme des Garçons. But Divka was never about recreating that legacy. It’s quieter. More personal. Built on trust and long hours in the studio, where they still do everything themselves: designing, pattern-making, even hand-finishing garments one by one.
A few facts we love: They’re obsessive about fabric and often use custom-made textiles that can’t be sourced anywhere else. They name each collection d.v.k. followed by a number—no seasons, no stories, just evolution. Their studio has no front desk, no assistants, and no separation between work and life. It’s just them, a few machines, and a long table covered in fabric, pins, and green tea cups.
This season’s edit is a study in contrasts—storm grey voile next to crisp white poplin, draped jersey paired with tailored suiting. Every piece can be worn layered or alone, minimal or expressive. However you wear it, Divka invites a second glance. Quiet confidence, made visible.
