Inspired by onii-kei fashion found in Tokyo's trendy Shibuya district, menswear label Black Asuka places emphasis on sleek minimalism and sophisticated cuts that veer away from run-of-the-mill styles. Described as a mix of American and Italian casual infused with rocker influences, the brand's collection carries menswear basics differentiated by details such as plaid trimming, low necklines and asymmetric hems.

The name "Black Asuka" originates from one of the ancient imperial capitals of Japan called Asuka, located near Nara Prefecture on the island of Honshu. The name also comes from the Japanese name for the Common Crossbill bird. A YesStyle Exclusives brand, Black Asuka products are specially designed by YesStyle's in-house stylists.
