minä perhonen seasonal catalogue "紋黄蝶 2009 Spring / Summer Collection" arrived yesterday in my mailbox carefully wrapped in a beautiful fine paper. This time all the photographs are done in the timeless family portrait style and I quite like it.

  2. I love the photos and the "models" in this catalogue. I've seen shots from it elsewhere - really great.

  8. Hello & Thank you Olive Tree Guitar Ensemble, The Wanderers' Daughter, Marion, yasu and Anna,
    Yes this is a wonderful work of creativity, isn't it? The idea is so clever!

    Hello ii-ne-kore,
    Yes I ordered it directly from mina perhonen, there is an order form in their website: http://www.mina-perhonen.jp/catalog/09ss/
    mmm but they only accept bank transfer so it might be hard for you to do so from OZ... :(

    Hello mizu designs,
    Thank you for coming by, your 1st hometown is my 2nd hometown and your 2nd is Kyoto!!! Oh I love Melbourne but Kyoto is also lovely isn't it?
