ABOUT
Roen, meaning “smoke signal,” is a dark avant-garde fashion brand founded in Tokyo in 2001 by legendary designer Hiromu Takahara. Blending Japanese craftsmanship with a deconstructed aesthetic, Roen creates clothing that expresses depth, individuality, and inner rebellion.
Its signature skull motif — a symbol of impermanence and strength — has become the brand’s visual core, resonating across art, fashion, and subcultures.
Roen has collaborated with game titles such as Final Fantasy XV and Lost Soul Aside, extending its influence beyond real world's fashion into virtual storytelling.
Roen is not just style — it's a visual language.
A fire of will, igniting your aesthetics.
