Jun Mayers is a German-Japanese fashion designer working with reconstruction as a system for rethinking garments, memory, and use.
Through the transformation of existing garments and archival references, his work explores how meaning accumulates in objects over time. Rather than pursuing novelty, Jun Mayers focuses on lineage embedding personal history, cultural heritage, and material traces into new forms.
Raised in Germany with Japanese roots, he developed an intimate relationship with both precision and imperfection. Japanese aesthetic principles inform his approach. Calmness, irregularity, and respect for what already exists. Garments are not treated as neutral surfaces, but as carriers of time, labor, and human presence.
By developing his own reconstruction techniques, Jun Mayers creates garments that operates between tradition and innovation, control and intuition, transience and longevity. His work does not aim to replace what exists, but rather reconstructing the existing.
