What is a Designer ?

Based on the brand concept, work to transmit new trends by planning products, creating specifications and modifying samples. In addition, by taking advantage of their own personality, it is possible to express the world of the brand outside of the product.

Question and Answer
Question #001
What was the deciding factor in joining the company?

When I became interested in fashion, the brand that I thought was the coolest was concentrated at Baroque. And on top of that my older sister who lives with me was working as a sales staff and I received stimulation from her because she looked really happy.

Question #002
What is worthwhile and attractive about your job?

Everyday is filled with something that teaches me something and everything becomes a positive point for me. If I wasn’t doing this job, I don’t think I would have been able to convince myself to do something with such a sense of responsibility. What is attractive about my job is that I can express my imagination and emotions and message in the world of brand and express it to the world. I can relay my thoughts in the things I suggest without having to try to explain it orally. I think it varies from people to people how something is expressed, but I would like to continue to express my worldview in clothes and brand.

Question #003
What was the most impressive episode at work?

I still clearly remember the first exhibition I attended. Many women wore the clothes that I made for the first time, and were standing in front of the mirror with a smile on their faces. For two days, from morning till evening I was able to see close up such happy views and I decided in my heart that I would like them to enjoy it better and create something that would move their hearts as well.

Question #004
What challenges are there in the future?

The goal is to open a RIM.ARK street store and turn the back of the store into an office. There I would like to introduce not only apparel but items that I think are good from Japan and overseas and would like the people to know more about, and artists. I’d like to make it into a shop where people think “I can’t wait to go to that shop everyday!” The reason why I would like to create an office at the back of the store is that I would always want to grasp the situation in the store and also bring the customer and the staff closer together. Create a space from where they can get a glimpse of the workshop, something like that. This will give a fresh outlook as it would be rather rare for the customers to be able to see the workshop and it would lead to the staff being conscious of being looked at and they would feel that they have to stay sharp! (laugh) I’d also like to set up a cafe inside as well too, for taking a break.

Voice

I think that every job has a mission and responsibility, but it is not only important to produce results, but the process and the efforts experienced, and the connection with colleagues who worked together to produce the results is very important to me and becomes an energy that allows me to live more positively.
I think it’s a company really blessed with people and the reason why we all want to do our best is also because of the people in the company.

  • RCWB Kawasaki Lazona Store

What is a Pattaner ?

My work to create “patterns” for making clothes by referring to design drawings and photographs. The delivered samples and products are inspected, and precautions on sewing are created and sent to the factory to bridge the commercialization of the item.

Question and Answer
Question #001
What was the deciding factor in joining the company?

I was attracted by the corporate philosophy of “challenge” and joined the company.
I remember I was a bit anxious because I heard that it was the first time that the technology department hired new graduates. However, at the same time, I thought it was a company that actively worked on new things, and I was attracted to that.

Question #002
What is worthwhile and attractive about your job?

I think that being able to create a beautiful finished product from design drawings is how the pattern maker can show off his/her skills. One will feel how much you have grown when you can imagine the image of the design yourself and able to imagine this into a shape, thus being able to imagine something three-dimensional from a flat image. However, that shape will still have many differences from what the designer imagined. The process of getting closer to the ideal shape from there is an even more rewarding time.

Question #003
What was the most impressive episode at work?

When a skirt that I was in charge of was completed and that was posted to instagram, I was thrilled beyond anything that I felt when I was a student. I was also happy when someone told me “i purchased that skirt” that that skirt was finished to where someone would want to purchase it.

Question #004
What challenges are there in the future?

Currently I am in charge of bottoms such as skirts and pants but what I would like to challenge is to increase the number of shapes I am in charge of, and draw up patterns of other items such as dresses and blouses!

Voice

At Baroque Japan Limited, there are initiatives such as “NEXT IS YOU” to constantly incorporate new things. I think searching for work is very hard and takes its toil both physically and mentally, but it's also a good opportunity to take a good look at yourself so reconfirm what your strong points are and take confidence when taking the next step! You will sure to be reflected as someone who is very attractive.

Question and Answer
Question #001
What was the deciding factor in joining the company?

My dream, considering that I am working with fashion, is to be in charge of a brand that I think is wonderful and can really empathize with. Another point in making my decision was that ENFÖLD was a decisive positive team that was trying new things to grow, not satisfied with their current position.

Question #002
What is worthwhile and attractive about your job?

I feel very satisfied with my work when something we got excited at and exclaiming that it’s good! it looks like it will sell! at the planning and sales team meeting actually sells as we expected after we order it or a product that has been added as we judged it the correct decision actually contributes to sales.

Voice

I think this company has a very flat human relationship. In addition, there are sales contests and such, and it is a very wonderful thing that the environment is such that the staff working at the forefront stores can work highly motivated.

What is a Electronic Commerce ?

My job is selling products at mail order sites of our company and other companies. While managing day-to-day sales and products, I will provide services unique to EC that cannot be realized in real stores using IT technology.

Question and Answer
Question #001
What was the deciding factor in joining the company?

During my job hunting, I thought that an industry where I could work while enjoying fashion was wonderful. The reason I decided to join Baroque was that I often shopped at MOUSSY in Tokyo, and I wanted to work with my favorite things! The rest is intuition!

Question #002
What is worthwhile and attractive about your job?

That is when many customers purchase MOUSSY items. I feel that it is my responsibility to deliver the thoughts of the many people who are involved in the products up to the point of sales through EC, so I observe and am aware about the many things even where the customer cannot be seen, so we are working to make sure that the customers will feel that MOUSSY products are “nice”.

Question #003
What was the most impressive episode at work?

I was moved when I first got to see the results of analyses covering items such as what age groups purchased what products, and at which phase or stage, since it’s something that I didn’t really know while working in an actual store. I intend to make the best use of this information to create an environment in which customers can find the products they want more easily from now on.

Question #004
What challenges are there in the future?

My current goal is to increase the number of fans of the brand through EC! To that end, I feel that I will have to increase my experience and knowledge and grow fast!

Voice

During my job hunting, I had various conflicts, but what I finally decided with was my intuition. My policy is to believe in my intuition and to try it out! Every day I feel that the best part of Baroque is having fun and meeting nice friends!

Question and Answer
Question #001
What was the deciding factor in joining the company?

When I was a student, I had the opportunity to interact with people at the head office, and the reason why I joined was because I felt the strong love they had for their brand. I want to work at Baroque Japan Limited using my media knowledge I learned at school! This is why I joined this company.

Question #002
What is worthwhile and attractive about your job?

The best part of working as a PR for a fashion brand is the ability to work with a variety of artists, creators and models both in Japan and overseas.

Question #003
What was the most impressive episode at work?

It was the first time in three years that MOUSSY appeared on the TOKYO GIRLS COLLECTION 18S/S, where we were able to do a production with a live band for the first time. I could not stop the goosebumps from how cool it was beyond my imagination from the rehearsal stage and I started to cry when the actual production started...!

Question #004
What challenges are there in the future?

The goal is to be recognized as a “professional” both from inside and outside the company. I will continue to implement new challenges so that MOUSSY can shine even more than ever, so be sure keep an eye out!

Voice

There may not be that many companies in existence where you can work in an environment where there are seniors who can be respected. But at Baroque Japan Limited, that kind of environment is the norm, rather than the exception. I always try to work after asking the question, "Am I getting excited?" It is difficult to get others excited if you yourself are not excited. By becoming honest with items and incidents where I felt excited about, I can deal straight on with what I am working on.
