Tokiké, Japan
Changing the narrative of what it means to “fit in”
| Expressionist | Statement | Everyday |
An experimental art house streetwear brand that aims to represent iconoclast voices of the YOUth in India.
The Jack in the Block collection is an ode to eccentric Dutch painter Piet Mondrian's painting 'Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow.' Mondrian called his style Neo-Plasticism and believed his abstraction could serve as a universal pictorial language representing the dynamic, evolutionary forces that govern nature and human experience. The Indian Millennial and Gen Z are an iconoclast generation who are unafraid of adding colour to their monochromatic society. Hence the collection is a surreal depth of colors that finds escapism through the structure of the in-between spaces. The lines that stretch across Mondrian's canvases are replicated on the urban bags to reflect the progressive nature of art and fashion. But to also herald the freethinking spirit of the youth.
At Tokiké, we encourage slow fashion and stay away from the mass production of our products. The designs are made from cotton canvas and polyester/nylon, handcrafted with up-cycled stock load fabrics stitched together precariously, staying true to our experimental nature of fashion. The capsule range consists of 11 bags which see negative spaces be redefined in technicolor shifts in blocks. Essentially, creating a rebound chamber as the primary core of all art, the colors are seen in object design that become expressions of everyday art. Tokiké diversifies to create spaces and provide choices to various individuals in unique ways so that each personal style is represented.

The KILTE is a tote bag that is the ideal carrier for all that you need handy, just sling/carrying it on your shoulder, and you're good to go!

Mondrian's artworks moved beyond the naturalistic depiction of art to embrace artistry's manic and child-like side.
