I got a chance to catch up with the brains behind the brand, founder/creative director, Shoichi Amemiya. (Prior to creating Sabit, Shoichi worked with Mark Ecko as creative director of Ecko outerwear.) The talented designer gave us a sneak peek at what Sabit has in store for summer and fall (including a new women’s line!), while dishing on upcoming collaborations:
