Label copy

As described by his friend Derrick Miller, creative director of Barker Black shoes, Kogi “puts everything-present and past, genres and products-through the Poggy blender, and with the most astonishing results.” With his humorous touch, Kogi morphs historical references into avant-garde contemporary fashion, dangling a digital watch at the end of a 19th-century pocket-watch chain or adding a tie with an insouciant message to an ensemble that would otherwise indicate buttoned-up propriety.
