Vermeer carves LOVE into his fist, Maria cradles HIP HOP, Mona Lisa smiles with a beer in hand.

It’s okay if no one understands you. It’s okay if you seem a little different.

Whether it’s music, alcohol, or culture—if it moves your heart, it’s a true form of LOVE.

Three graphics that use iconic paintings from history as motifs, expressing each subject’s hidden passion through collage.

The freedom to proudly say you love what you love.

THE FOUND.

Centered on the collage works of artist Shusaku Takaoka, we aim to rediscover everyday life in new forms. Faded fabrics, vintage prints, fragments of memory—these materials, reconstructed by Takaoka’s hands, are translated into clothing. Each piece is crafted to breathe within daily life. THE FOUND. stands at the intersection of past and present, art and everyday, continuing the act of 'finding' through fashion.
