Graphpaper has set up its SS2027 showroom and a pop-up store in the Marais. The Tokyo label is the work of Takayuki Minami, one of the defining figures behind a generation of Japanese menswear retail.

Minami has spent close to thirty years in Tokyo, and he builds systems. In 1996, at twenty, he joined H.P.FRANCE and worked on the launch of CANNABIS and other early-canon select shops, on the buying and store-planning side. In 2008 he set up alpha on his own, and as external director shaped 1LDK — rethinking the everyday wardrobe for the city, with an unsentimental eye.
