The Brooklyn Made Store, brought to you by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, represents the rich diversity of “Brooklyn,” as represented by products and brands that have been conceived and made here. “Brooklyn Made” can mean many things, but universally it reflects the intricacies of a borough that has been shaped and reshaped by the ever-changing flow of different populations and cultures that have found their way to Brooklyn for over three hundred years.

The mission of the Brooklyn Made Store is to identify and promote designers, makers, and entrepreneurs, mostly from communities of color, who embody the essence of what it means to be Brooklyn, as represented through their unique products. Brooklyn Made stores at Industry City and City Point are presented to you by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, sponsored by Wells Fargo and sponsored by Brooklyn Org.

Oda Sho Co., Ltd. is a long-established Kyoto kimono shop that has lived through the ages with kimonos for over 150 years. Its DNA does not end with “preservation.” True “wa” (harmony) lies in its attitude of always questioning “evolution” while respecting tradition.

And one person who resonated with this philosophy is the solitary artist who continues to fascinate the world – HYDE. HYDE has an overwhelming sense of beauty and discerning eye that extends beyond the realm of music to fashion, visuals, and art direction. The moment that spark of his creativity met ODASHO, who has always faced tradition, a new door opened between “wa” and “rock.” And thus was born – WaRLOCK.

MuSuHi (Mishima Akiyoshi x Takaoka Harumitsu x Miida Shuhei x Shio Tatsuro x Otsuki Nobuhiko x Yawaka Keitaro x Tarui Kazuki)
MuSuHi is an art project that weaves together the loose threads of modern life and weaves the continuity of life into the ages through the yin-yang relative harmony of “Musuhi,” the spiritual act of creating and arranging all things, and “Musubi,” which brings about harmony and relationships.

FUGAHUM
The indigenous people had once established their peculiar culture in the fictitious country “Fugahum”.
However gradually invaders appeared, and the people had to trace the fate of surviving under their rule from that day on. Years passed by and now the subdued people are in their third-generation. The material invaders brought in has brimmed in Fugahum, and the people accepted the invader’s culture, religion, thoughts and even the history of them having been invaded. That is in other words, the third-generations has built new sense of values by compiling the invader’s livings which already existed when they are born.
“FUGAHUM” takes its historical story as modern Japonism and represent it not only in fasion but in various ways, and is a project to establish the country of Fugahum.
