SAN-NIN, meaning “The Three Legendary Ninjas”, marks the debut collection of Noah Christian, first presented during his fashion school runway debut and conceived from the beginning as a collection ready to be worn and sold.
Inspired by the geometric elegance and structured asymmetry of traditional ninja and samurai garments from Japan’s Sengoku period (1467–1615), this collection channels the spirit of warriors who moved with precision, purpose, and grace during one of the most turbulent eras of Japanese history.
SAN-NIN SS17 explores bold silhouettes and sculptural construction through a modern lens, incorporating neoprene and silk mikado in shades of deep blue and greenery colors symbolizing balance, discipline, and renewal. The result is a striking fusion of historical influence and contemporary edge, rooted in strength, movement, and refined aesthetic.
With this collection, Noah Christian established the foundation of his creative universe: a brand where fashion becomes storytelling, craftsmanship meets concept, and cultural heritage is honored through bold innovation.
