Press Release: Joey Rodolfo Prepares To Launch BUKI Brand

The BUKI collection is the perfect intersection of fiber innovation and modern sportswear. Architectural silhouettes are aligned with proprietary fabrics to create a sportswear collection that keeps pace with today’s modern lifestyle.

Inspired by modern Japanese construction and today’s active lifestyle, BUKI Brand is new, luxe, hyper-functional sportswear collection created by industry icon Joey Rodolfo. The designer/entrepreneur will launch the new sportswear collection in the fall of 2016. The BUKI collection offers a luxury approach to men’s and women’s sportswear by combining proprietary technical fibers with architectural silhouettes for a wardrobe that promises to provide a “wardrobe revolution.”

The Seattle-based designer/entrepreneur has been pioneering technical fiber innovation for more than 15 years and is focused on elevating sportswear to improve people’s daily lives. Rodolfo says, “Imagine having a wardrobe that can take you from the work-week to the weekend that feels supremely luxurious, provides epic moisture-management, cooling-innovation, and thermal regulation, is machine washable and doesn’t ever need to see a dry-cleaner or an iron. We’ve combined simple architectural lines with complex technical fibers to create versatile contemporary separates that will work as hard as you do.”

Rodolfo has established his proprietary Kinoki-3.0TM fibers (climate, crafted, comfort) as the foundation of the BUKI collection to provide state-of-the-art fabric functionality.

  • Climate: State-of-the-Art Fiber Technology provides thermal-regulation and cooling

  • Crafted: Eliminates dry-cleaning and ironing

  • Comfort: Innovative fabric construction optimized for supreme comfort

    BUKI’s state-of-the-art Japanese fiber technology provides a wardrobe that’s easy-care, easy-wear, and easy-going. The combination of hyper-functional fabrics and an architectural design aesthetic create a collection that is constructed for supreme comfort.

BUKI’s launch collection will be delivered to retailers in the fourth quarter of 2016, and will also be offered for pre-order on the brand’s website in September prior to the official launch. The brand expects high demand for the curated collection and has set up a waiting list for clients to be notified when the exclusive collection is available. In the meantime, follow BUKI on Facebook and Instagram @BukiBrand.

Joey Rodolfo has over 30 years of a distinguished design and entrepreneurial career under his belt, and has launched several very successful brands including Bench Company, Cutter & Buck, Resort Two and JR 1879.
