Last month Doublet from Japan won the 2018 LVMH Prize, the prestigious and most coveted award for small fashion brands across the planet.
Over two days in February in Paris, designer Masayuki Ino presented his clothes to various luminaries serving as judges, including Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, LVMH owner Bernard Arnault and Hollywood stars Emma Stone and Jaden Smith.
"I'm just a lucky boy!" exclaims Ino, when asked what he thinks won over the judges. "Actually, I think my clothes were maybe just the most fun."
