Jack Masumoto is a Seattle-based apparel designer who uses playful designs to connect garments to their wearer, framing emotional attachment as a way to slow trend cycling. Utilizing patternmaking, pattern grading, technical design, and construction skills, he hopes to create garments that will last through this connection. Inspired by the degradation of built environments and how people interact with it, his graduation collection, Impermanence, marries traditional men’s silhouettes with off-beat details that turn heads.
