Wanting to Change a Society Where Beloved Clothes Are Built on Sacrifice
What were the circumstances under which Enter the E Co., Ltd. was established?
With the fact that my grandfather ran a clothing store, I had always been interested in clothes from a young age and had decided long ago on a career in the clothing business. Around 2006, I went to New York to learn about global business and management, but during that time, I was diagnosed with cancer. This changed my relationship with clothing.Realizing that time in life is limited due to my cancer, I wanted to thoroughly enjoy my life and started spending a lot of money on clothes. I thought clothes were the only pleasure that didn't bother others, and before I knew it, I was 5 million yen in debt. Even though I was determined to enjoy life to the fullest, I felt unfulfilled and empty enjoying fashion alone.
