The arrival of Human Made at Highs and Lows is less about introducing a new label and more about acknowledging a definitive subcultural blueprint. Founded by NIGO in 2010, the brand serves as a personal outlet for the designer’s obsessive relationship with vintage Americana and pre-1960s workwear. Following his era-defining work with A Bathing Ape, Human Made represents a shift toward a more curated, archival perspective, one that prioritises the joy of discovery.
For the team at Highs and Lows, stocking Human Made is a natural extension of our own respect for heritage and technical detail. NIGO’s "Gears for futuristic teenagers" philosophy isn’t just a tagline; it is a commitment to reproducing the quality and feel of mid-century garments. Whether through the signature heart logo or the animal motifs that have become hallmarks of the brand, every piece represents NIGO's legacy and vision.
By bringing Human Made to our Perth, King Street Dept. Store, we are offering a look into one of the most influential archives in the industry. It is a label that aligns with the HAL ethos: grounded in history, driven by purposeful design, and always maintaining a perspective that is both uncompromising and authentic. We proudly celebrate being Perth's stockist of Human Made.EXPLORE HUMAN MADE'S COLLECTION
