Mintdesigns: Happy Mistake
Fashion designers Hokuto Katsui and Nao Yagi established mintdesigns in 2001, and have since become a respected womenswear label with a shop in Shibuya, Tokyo. Characterised by bold prints and patterning, not to mention explosions of colour, the duo’s quirky designs and curious shapes have earned them a place in arty Japanese fashion circles. This book presents the first thirteen years of mintdesigns, wherein a line can be traced from the theme of their very first collection ('happy mistake') through their profound interest in the connection between clothing and scenery, to the retro films and faded images of bygone eras that have inspired their latest work.
224 pages, 19 x 25 cm, cloth cover, Seigensha Art Publishing (Kyoto).
