Who is WTAPS?

It was the early 90s in the heart of Tokyo when designer Tetsu “Tet” Nishiyama took his first steps towards becoming the fashion mogul he is today. His initial project, FPAR, was born during the height of fashion’s punk scene. These influences can be seen in the simplistic graphic FPAR logo that aligned aesthetically with anarchist principles.
