Vol.30 26SS LOOKBOOK LAUNCH
Today, we are pleased to announce the release of the 2026 SPRING & SUMMER COLLECTION LOOKBOOK on this website. In creating our collections each season, what we cherish most is the emotional narrative—how a woman feels as she moves through her day in our clothes. This season’s theme is "BOUNDLESS HORIZONS." The scenery that greets you when you finally lift your head after a long winter. There lies a borderless world woven by the sky, the sea, and the earth. What DOMELLE depic

Vol.29 "To Add" or "To Subtract"? The Philosophy of Silent Formal Wear.
So this time, I would like to delve a little deeper into the true nature of "FORMAL" as DOMELLE sees it, and our almost obsessive fixation on "Materials" and the color "Black." Since this will be a bit long, please prepare a Grande-sized coffee and join me.

Vol.27 Where to Find DOMELLE
You may have come across DOMELLE pieces and wondered where to find them.
DOMELLE began as a wholesale-only brand, which means each retailer selects its own lineup.
The styles, colors, and sizes available vary by store.
This is because we create only what is necessary—never in excess.
Each retailer curates DOMELLE through its own sensibility,
revealing unique perspectives on what the brand represents. In other words, every store shows a slightly different face of DOMELL

Vol.26 The Journey to the DUO COAT
Over three seasons, DOMELLE has redefined what a coat can be. From RICHNESS (2023AW) to SECURE (2024AW) and now TRANSFORM (2025AW), the CASHMERE DUO COAT embodies a quiet strength — light yet weighty, soft yet structured. Handcrafted in pure double-face cashmere, it reflects DOMELLE’s pursuit of beauty beyond trends: to create garments that evolve with the wearer, season after season. A story of transformation, craftsmanship, and enduring grace.

Vol.25 25AW Threads from Prato
Late October.That first breath of cold air at the door in the early morning — the kind that almost turns white.And yet, by midday, the sun still lingers, and I find myself standing before the closet asking, “Isn’t it too early for a coat?”For this in-between season, DOMELLE’s answer is — mohair from Faliero Sarti.From the Mills of PratoIn Tuscany’s historic city of Prato — a town that has thrived on textiles since the Middle Ages and still draws brands from around the world i

Vol.24 Why We Started HIGHLIGHTS
Each season, DOMELLE explores a wide range of silhouettes, fabrics, and expressions. Among them, certain pieces always stand out — unmistakably DOMELLE, and often defining the spirit of the season.
In today’s fashion landscape, where so much information competes for attention, the essence of a brand can easily be obscured. HIGHLIGHTS was born from our wish to present our core more vividly.

Vol.23 25AW Layered Light: Three Tops for the New Season
Early this morning in Tokyo, the air was cold enough to make me pull the blanket closer. Yet by midday, the temperature climbed to 26°C, warm enough to make you break a sweat after a short walk. The mornings and evenings hover around 22°C — cool and refreshing — but traces of summer still linger in the daytime air. This is the kind of season when we move back and forth between “warm” and “cool” many times a day — a jacket in the morning, a shirt by noon, and something light a

Vol.22 DOMELLE and LINTON TWEED — At the Heart of Creation
TWEED as a fabric holds a fascinating duality. On one hand, it carries the face of history — “classic,” “weighty,” “reserved for special occasions.” On the other, it has an experimental nature, with infinite possibilities depending on how the yarns are combined. What draws DOMELLE is very much the latter — a material that invites us to question and reinterpret, again and again, as we look toward the future. Since its debut in AW23, DOMELLE has consistently introduced items ma

Vol.21 Hello Nagoya, Meet DOMELLE

Vol.18 The Essence of DOMELLE
Today, let’s talk about one of DOMELLE’s true specialties: the DECOR category. You can also see it now on our GALLERY page. The word decor originally means “decoration.” But for DOMELLE, DECOR is far more than something ornamental. It’s clothing that helps you cross the boundary between everyday and extraordinary with ease—pieces that exist to beautifully highlight those fleeting, special moments in life. And as for me, I’ve got a “special moment” coming up soon myself… bu

Vol.17 Chic Under Fire
As I briefly mentioned in Vol.2: Chaos , the production schedule in fashion works a little differently from most industries. Several seasons are always moving forward at the same time, so my mind is constantly juggling them all. For example, the items currently in stores are from our 25AW collection. Yet behind the scenes, we’re preparing for the 26SS Main Market in Paris while also starting to shape the 26AW collection. Our thoughts are always half a year—or even a full year

Vol.16 Between Ideals and Reality
Yesterday was toile-check day. If you’ve been following along, you may remember I’ve written about it before—but here’s a little refresher. If you already know the drill, feel free to skip ahead. By the way, if you head to DESIGN / FORM on this site, you’ll find behind-the-scenes photos of the toile check process. I recently added quite a few more, so even if you’re skipping, you might enjoy browsing them when you have a moment. (MENU > BACKSTAGE > DESIGN / FORM ) Here’s how
