mintdesigns

[Established year] 2001

〈A design that can be enjoyed by people aged 3 to 100〉
mintdesigns regards fashion as a kind of product design, and has been engaged in a wide range of activities with the aim of "designing to enrich everyday life." Taking advantage of the uniqueness of the textiles we develop, we are actively collaborating with other industries, such as tableware, furniture, and Japanese confectionery, in addition to clothing, to expand the scope of our design. The concept of this brand is to propose the possibility of "fashion" that is not synonymous with "trend".

Hokuto Katsui and Nao Yagi graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London.
They returned to Japan after their graduation and launched mintdesigns in 2001.
The team has participated in such events as the 2003 Spring and Summer Tokyo Collection and 2008 Spring and Summer Sao Paolo Collection. Currently, They are visiting professors at Osaka Seiki University.
