EMPATH is an independent Los Angeles-based fashion label founded by Japanese and Singaporean designer Emily Arakawa. Inspired by Japanese archival grunge and '90s minimalism, our collections are designed in Los Angeles and produced in carefully selected ateliers across Japan and the USA using premium Japanese, Korean, and luxury deadstock fabrics.
We produce in small batches with an emphasis on exceptional craftsmanship, natural fibers, and timeless design. Our affiliate partners represent a premium independent brand with strong visual storytelling, elevated price points, and a growing global community that values quality over trends.
