I'm not sure why this came to mind, but some years ago there was a brand by the name of Cabane de Zucca. I'm fairly certain it was Japanese, but quite possibly based in Paris. I seem to remember it being quite good (although having looked at some stuff on grà:|3d just now, my memory might be playing tricks on me).
Anyone know anything about this brand and what happened to it? Google could find a sum total of 5 search results for it. How can a name that was once fairly common (at least in fashion magazines, if not on the lips of consumers) disappear so completely?
EDIT: seems to have changed name to just Zucca (or possibly reverted to original name):
Not that there appears to be much going on there either.
Elsewhere I found this:
"Founded in 1988 and part of A-Net, a large Japanese group of fashion designers including Tsumori Chisato, the Zucca brand combines artistic expression and optimal functionality. The beauty arising from the creative process of its designers manifests itself in extremely simple clothes that revisit a casual style attentive to the contemporary. A sense of peace, calm and happiness surrounds those who wear Zucca clothes, gifts of freshness and originality to everyday life."
"Japanese brand founded in 1988 by Akira Onozuka, is part of the large A-net clothing group. The intent is to create clothes that inspire calm and a sense of joy in those who wear them and in the people who surround themselves wearing Japanese Zucca clothing. Onozuka finds his creative ideas everywhere: literature, art, travel, family."
