Kosuke Tsumura

[1] Final Home became a popular label for young people in Japan, who appreciated its combination of simplicity, humour, and multi-functional design.

[1] Tsumura's key design is the Final Home coat (also known as Homel or Survival Jacket[6]), conceived as an essential piece should the wearer find themselves made homeless due to war, natural disaster or unemployment.

[7] To test his concept, Tsumura wore the prototype to sleep rough in Centennial Park, New York for several nights.

[9] In 2020, Tsumura said that the Issey Miyake company still held the copyright to Final Home, hence why the brand was no longer in operation.

[6] Due to the success of the Final Home label, Tsumura was able to become increasingly experimental as a designer and also pursue artistic endeavours outside the fashion industry.
