Runway | Where Garments Become Movement
*Some content is currently being prepared.
Where Garments Come to Life
A TATZU garment is never complete on a hanger.
Its true character emerges only when someone wears it—when the fabric moves, the silhouette shifts, and the garment comes to life with every step.
The runway is where clothing, music, light, and space become one.
It is where NEO SAMURAI takes its final form.
Remade Kimono. Reborn Identity.
2025 Runway
Sofitel Phnom Penh
In 2025, TATZU presented the NEO SAMURAI collection at Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra.
Around 15 models brought the collection to life before an audience of more than 1,000 guests.
Rather than recreating tradition, we reconstruct it for the present.
That is the philosophy behind every TATZU runway.

NEO SAMURAI Style
Every vintage Japanese kimono is carefully taken apart and reconstructed through newly developed patterns.
Every motif.
Every fabric.
Every silhouette.
Everything is designed from the ground up before being reborn as contemporary streetwear.
Every garment is one of a kind.
The same piece will never exist twice.

Behind the Runway
A runway presentation lasts only a few minutes.
Creating a single garment takes far longer.
Selecting the vintage kimono.
Taking it apart.
Washing the fabric.
Developing a new pattern.
Cutting.
Sewing.
Fitting.
Refining every detail until the garment moves naturally with the body.
Every stage exists for one purpose:
To create a silhouette that truly comes alive in motion.
The runway is simply the moment when that entire process becomes visible.
Designer's Note
My goal is not simply to preserve kimono.
It is to carry their beauty into a new era through contemporary clothing.
Tradition.
Underground culture.
Stillness.
Movement.
TATZU exists where these seemingly opposite worlds meet.
2024 Runway
The Beginning of NEO SAMURAI
In 2024, TATZU unveiled its first collection reconstructing vintage Japanese kimono into contemporary streetwear.
This runway marked the beginning of what would become the NEO SAMURAI philosophy.
One vintage kimono.
One new silhouette.
That journey began here.

The Collection
This collection became the foundation of the direction TATZU continues to pursue today.
Contemporary black silhouettes.
The depth and character of vintage Japanese kimono.
Pattern, structure, and movement brought together in a new form.
Many of the ideas that define today's collection first appeared on this runway.

Designer's Note
The 2024 runway was the true beginning of the brand.
Every garment was created through experimentation, refinement, and countless revisions.
Those early pieces became the foundation of today's NEO SAMURAI collection.
Without that first runway, the 2025 collection would never have existed.
