Kaise Imamiya

Eldest son of legendary fashion designers Kaisuke Imamiya and Caesaria Huang, and heir to the House Imamiya brand, Kaise has spent his life studying fashion under his parents. He debuted his first designs at age 16 as part of his parents’ collections; since then he has designed full collections on his own, and a year ago launched the brand XV, a subsidiary of House Imamiya, of which he is the lead designer. XV’s first collections debuted recently at Tokyo Fashion Week, showcasing both haute-couture and prêt-à-porter designs; critics have praised his work as stylish, modern, and understated. Already making his mark at such a young age, Imamiya is a rising star in the fashion world.
