Area 51

Japanese fashion label South2 West8, which takes its moniker from the street corners of its Sapporo flagship store, has long directed its sartorial lens toward the age-old method of fly-fishing, “Tenkara.” Untethered by tradition, the imprint has concocted a modern wardrobe inspired by the technique’s waders and rods, offering a ready-to-wear lineup that explores the duality of function and design.
