Founded in 1997 by Yasuko Furuta, Toga is known for its experimental takes on wardrobe classics.
Ann-Sofie Johansson, creative advisor at H&M, said: At H&M, we have always admired Yasuko Furuta for imbuing her clothes with a very strong sense of personality. She enjoys the challenge that comes with creating an avant-garde look that is also easy to wear. It was a pleasure to spend time with her and her team, being inspired by designs from the Toga archive. I can’t wait to see how customers all over the world style these playful but cool pieces, particularly the sensual Toga signature cut-outs”
