About the brand

Brand name: RBTXCO
Designer: Higashi Teppei

RBT stands for result by chance (rɪˈzʌlt baɪ tʃɑːns), while XCO represents the collaborations between RBTXCO and its associates. Each collection is designed under the concept of creating narratives by the brand and its collaborators. RBTXCO offers Japanese manufactured garments and one-offs. RBTXCO designs merge contrasting elements, such as Japanese and western traditional cuts and graphics into its unisex lines.

 

[Designer background]

Born and raised in Kyoto Prefecture, Higashi taught himself clothing design and launched rɪˈzʌlt baɪ tʃɑːns while still in high school. He later graduated from Marronnier Fashion Design School and gained experience as a designer for a hat production company and a textile company before becoming independent and debuting RBTXCO in 2006. In 2018, Higashi participated in "Amazon Fashion Week TOKYO" with RBTXCO’s Fall/Winter 2018-19 collection.

Higashi also works under the moniker WallRAG*, where he exhibits and sells stuffed toys made from scrap fabric. Recently launching The Art of Making Things, Higashi highlights the act of creation itself, which ranges from cotton farming to collaborative projects developing apps. Higashi is active across industry boundaries, expanding traditional roles in the  fashion world by serving as a fabric development advisor, graphic designer, costume designer, event organizer, and community designer.
