When he was in ESMOD JAPON, he was introduced as “THE NEXT GENERATION” of DAZED & CONFUSED JAPAN along with other designers such as Sandra Backlund, Sachio Kawasaki, and Louise Gray. His work has been photographed by Hedi Slimane, which became the cover of Dazed & Confused Japan.

After coming back to Japan in 2009, he started “JUNYA SUZUKI” with Reiko Sakuma who graduated ESMOD JAPON as the top student. Keeping Japanese pop culture as the roots, he expresses with the concept, “what is a character”. The collection consists of ready to wear, costumes, and other products.

After working for Charles Anastase as an assistant designer, he started LIVRAISON in 2005. In 2009, he left LIVRAISON and started Christian Dada. The theme of this season is “Battle Avatar.” This is for those hopeless young people that aimlessly wander the streets of Shibuya or Harajuku, those who are “neat” and despised by “decent” adults, those that want to get away from their daily lives. This is for the modern young generation that want to fight an imaginary battle at the “Future Grand Canyon”.
