Featuring NIGO on the cover, this issue of Casa BRUTUS documents a pivotal moment when street culture, fashion authorship, and domestic design converged in Japan. Rather than presenting architecture as a technical discipline, Casa BRUTUS frames space through lifestyle—how creative figures live, collect, and build environments that reflect personal identity.
NIGO’s presence anchors the issue in a broader cultural shift: the elevation of streetwear figures into arbiters of taste beyond clothing. The editorial explores interiors, objects, and spatial sensibilities associated with creative living, positioning the home as an extension of cultural practice rather than a static backdrop.
This issue is especially relevant as a reference for collectors and designers interested in the crossover between fashion, interior culture, and personal authorship during the late-2000s to early-2010s period, when figures like NIGO redefined what cultural influence could look like beyond traditional design institutions.
Collected today, it reads as a document of transition—capturing a moment when lifestyle media began treating fashion creatives as holistic cultural producers.
