Brand Identity Development and Photography, 2022

ENGINEERED GARMENTS Brand ID Brand Identity Development and Photography, 2022 by Manabu Gaku Inada. INADA STUDIO INC. In the spring of 2021, Daiki Suzuki of Engineered Garments approached GAKU with a request to redesign the brand's hang tags — introducing new photography alongside a separate "Made in New York" tag. Drawing on the Nepenthes office in Long Island City as a conceptual anchor, the project took shape around a set of photographs: frontal, composed images of iconic structures such as the Queensboro Bridge and Queens Plaza. Each image carried a private resonance. In the autumn of 1992, GAKU moved from Tokyo to New York to study. On the morning of his first day at an art school in Manhattan, a packed subway car rounded a bend — and Queens Plaza station suddenly opened up before him, the skyline gleaming in the distance. The feeling that surged through him then has never faded. As an artist, GAKU had spent years photographing and sketching the city. For these tags, he drew from that personal archive, selecting each image with quiet intention. Together with a "Made in New York" tag — its design sparse and schematic, like a blueprint tracing the skyline — they were attached to every piece in the Spring/Summer 2022 collection. Each tag rests in silence as part of the garment, holding a New York that belongs, in the end, to whoever is wearing it.
