Retroot was born in 2025 from the shared vision of three passionate individuals. Our journey began when Hilmi Akınal, after completing his comprehensive design education in Italy, laid the foundation of Retroot by blending European artistry with a fresh perspective.
​
The concept truly took shape when KürÅŸat DeÄŸirmenci, a visionary leader with exceptional commercial acumen, joined the team. Having traveled extensively across the globe, KürÅŸat was particularly captivated by Monaco’s unique blend of luxury, culture, and business dynamism. He even spent nearly a month there solely to observe and understand its commercial landscape in depth. His insights and leadership have been instrumental in shaping Retroot’s strategic direction.
​
Alongside Hilmi and Kouta Ishikawa whose extensive sales experience at major Japanese companies brought invaluable strategic insight their combined expertise and shared dream ignited the creation of Retroot.
​
Today, Retroot operates from its base in Tokyo, Japan, while embracing the elegance and cosmopolitan spirit of Monaco. This dual presence allows us to seamlessly merge the cutting-edge trends of Tokyo’s vibrant fashion scene with the refined luxury and timeless sophistication associated with Monaco.
​
We are dedicated to blending the latest global trends with our own unique design philosophy. Every collection we create reflects our diverse backgrounds and unwavering commitment to innovative, high-quality fashion. At Retroot, we believe that true style honors its roots while boldly shaping the future of fashion.
