Kazuma Shigematsu

Kazuma Shigematsu is founder and director at A.Presse, a rising global force that is quietly reshaping the modern approach to luxury in menswear.

Shigematsu's philosophy is “designing without designing.” He and his team at A. Presse assemble and refine individual garments like magazine editors, rather than building seasonal thematic collections. The brand takes inspiration from vintage workwear, military pieces, tailoring classics, and Americana, reinterpreting the classic designs with meticulous attention to detail, fit, and high-end textiles, such as selvedge denim and cashmere-cotton blends.

The Tokyo-based label opts out of overt branding to focus on items that integrate seamlessly into an existing wardrobe. A.Presse work exclusively with select global stockists — including Dover Street Market London, Selfridges, and Mr Porter — to offer an elevated physical retail experience.
