nine lives

high-quality materials, sophisticated workmanship, timeless value, but interpreted and implemented in a contemporary and international way. that's what the young label nine lives from tokyo stands for. the name comes from a drunken night in which kotaro sato and ian segal suddenly found themselves in a discussion about how unfair it is that cats have nine lives. they decided to live nine lives at once and to make the right clothes for this pupose. clothes for the modern man, where business and leisure time become more and more blurred. or in nine lives' words: "clothing with a volume knob (that goes up to eleven)". sounds good.
