Yukata by minä perhonen

Friday, 22 June 2012

All above images are from mina-perhonen.jp

I accidentally found these new yukata by minä perhonen and could not resist sharing them here. I have to have one of these. This is bad, very bad.....

In case you wonder what yukata is, it's a casual version of kimono often made of cotton fabric which we wear in summer in Japan. I had one made some years ago but I have been wanting to get a new one for a long time now this seems to be "the one" but, oh, well let's see.

minä perhonen seasonal book spring/summer 2012

Saturday, 28 January 2012

The latest seasonal book from minä perhonen 紋黄蝶 "we", apparently the 10th issue this season it's more like a company or brand's introduction book rather than a collection book. It shows scenes from their new collection making process at factories and their important craftspeople and artisans who are behind this extraordinary Japanese fashion brand minä perhonen with beautiful black and white photography by L.A.TOMARI along with some new items from the spring/summer 2012 collection.

So so beautifully made, just as everything else they produce, from their textiles, garments, accessories, shop spaces, printed matter.... I can not love more about every tiniest detail of their creations!

P.S. If you like mina perhonen, do check out the current issue of ku:nel magazine!

One of the most talked about new landmarks of Tokyo right now that will open May 2012, the TOKYO SKYTREE has released their new staff uniforms yesterday and yes they are designed by Akira Minagawa and produced by mina perhonen - my favourite Japanese designer of all time!

Mr Minagawa spent a year to design and produce these uniforms and all the process was done within Japan, from textile productions to sewing, they are all made in Japan which is one of the important things Mr Minagawa is particular about his creating philosophy. I can not wait to go and see them :)

Strolling Around Aoyama

Monday, 26 September 2011

These are also from a while ago, when I had a stroll around Aoyama. It's a lovely area being away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby Harajuku and the main street of Omotesando, charming little shops are scattered around.

ARTS&SCIENCE is one of my favourite shops in this area, simple and good quality items beautifully displayed in a small but tasteful space in a little back street enchants me so much :)
They have many shops now around Tokyo but if you have a chance to go to Aoyama area I recommend you take a little further walk down Kotto-Dori street and visit this exquisite shop! (This one is lady's but their men's store is also not to miss if you like fashion, it's near the Nezu museum in the same neighbourhood)
kolor is also a cool Japanese brand to check out if you are a fashion guru!

Happy new week to you all ;)

minä perhonen metsä

Wednesday, 3 August 2011

All images are from www.mina-perhonen.jp

minä perhonen's website has just been renewed with a fresh look and now they have an online shop "metsä"! I think you know by now if you have been following my blog for a while how obsessed I am with minä perhonen but I just love everything about them. The new website is again designed and developed in a very simple form, it is just very pleasant to look at. Unfortunately they don't ship outside Japan, but you can look at their beautiful clothes. Enjoy! :)
