Business

Studio Seven

On 26 October 2015 , Naoto announced that he launched his apparel brand STUDIO SEVEN .[55][56]

STUDIO SEVEN is Naoto's own apparel brand. Prior to its establishment in 2015, he had expressed his commitment and love for fashion several times.[57] His brand focuses on unisex street wear and has three characteristic motives: a mouth with red lips representing "Love", a blue rose representing "Dream" and a smiley representing "Happiness". These three motives are an homage to the company Naoto is signed to, LDH. Moreover, the smiley face used as an icon for Studio Seven's designs is called "Mr.Confused". Naoto designed it with the intention to symbolize the discrepancy of anonymous individuals posting negative words and slander on the Internet while never knowing their actual situation, real face and true emotions. This 'darkness of modern times' transforms the smiley face, a symbol of absolute happiness, into something confusing.[58]

In March 2019, a GU×STUDIO SEVEN collaboration collection was released.[59] Furthermore, Naoto and Nigo's brand HUMAN MADE often collaborate together since both creative directors are friends. STUDIO SEVEN currently owns an online shop and the flag shop STUDIO SEVEN NAKAMEGURO in Aobadai Meguro-Ku Tokyo.[60][61] The brand is also sold at the select shop Just One Eye in Los Angeles.[58]

In March 2020, a HUNTING WORLD×STUDIO SEVEN collaboration collection was released.[62]

HONESTBOY®

STUDIO SEVEN has a diffusion line named HONESTBOY® , which is named after Naoto himself, as Naoto (直人) can mean Honest Boy in Japanese.[63]

In May, a JOJO × HONESTBOY® ZIPPER SLEEVE HOODIE was released as a part of ZOZOTOWN's Tokyo Department Store's collaboration with TV Anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. Naoto is a great fan of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, and the hoodie is designed with the inspiration from Golden Wind 's character Bruno Bucciarati.[64][65][66][67]

On 12 October 2019, HONESTBOY® and Japanese creative designer VERDY released a collaboration collection titled HONEST DELI as part of Verdy Harajuku Day festival.[68] Intended to be sold at cafés, the collection combines food culture and fashion and includes items that can be used at home as well as clothes, so that it can be incorporated into everyday life.[69] Verdy and Naoto had met each other for the first time at ComplexCon in Los Angeles 3 years prior to their first collaboration. They became friends and since both of them are influenced by Harajuku culture from the 90s and use a smiley face in their designs, they planned on working together in the future.[58][70]

LDH Apparel

On 1 January 2017, Naoto became director of LDH Apparel, a sub-company of LDH.[4][5]

Other

On 14 July 2015 , Naoto released his first photobook Jinsei Honoji-gumi.[71] The title derives from the name of the comedy-unit he formed in high school.[9]
