A New Cinematic Experience in Takanawa

On September 12, 2025, PORTER CLASSIC will unveil its latest creation, "PORTER CLASSIC CINEMA," at the newly opened NEWoMan Takanawa, a shopping complex directly connected to JR Takanawa Gateway Station. This innovative cinema store exemplifies the brand's deep appreciation for craftsmanship and celebrates the cultural ties between fashion and film.

Celebrating the Charm of Cinema

Inspired by classic movie theaters, the new venue reflects one of the core inspirations behind PORTER CLASSIC's craftsmanship: the art of cinema. The store design is the brainchild of renowned film art director Yohei Taneda, who has worked on legendary projects like Kill Bill and is recognized for his exceptional artistry in the currently released film National Treasure. Taneda, along with the formidable Toho Visual Art team, has created an imaginative space that invites visitors to immerse themselves in a cinematic atmosphere.

As you step into PORTER CLASSIC CINEMA, you will be greeted by elements reminiscent of a traditional cinema. The setting includes a projector, ticket booth, theater room, and actress mirrors, all designed to evoke the nostalgic charm of yesteryear's movie houses. Adding to this allure, the store also showcases iconic movie posters from beloved classics, creating a vibrant space for film enthusiasts. For those who cherish cinema, this immersive environment promises heartwarming surprises that will make you want to visit again and again.

A Commitment to Craftsmanship

At PORTER CLASSIC, the commitment to excellence is apparent not only in their products but also in the design of their stores. CEO Yoshida Yoshio emphasizes the brand's dedication to collaborating with Japan's finest artisans. By merging outstanding craftsmanship with a design inspired by the early Hollywood cinema era, the new store concept is a tribute to the rich craftsmanship of Japanese artistry. 

In a digital age where everything is just a click away, the creation of such a physical space honors and respects customers who visit the store in person. Yoshida believes that quality touches the heart and hopes that both loyal supporters and new customers will treasure the artistry behind PORTER CLASSIC's creations.
