MIZEN is a project that places Japanese artisans and their craft at the center, exploring the richness that emerges only when we slow down. In today’s world, where instant visual impact is excessively demanded, many forms of craftsmanship that require time and contemplation rarely reach the stage where they can be properly appreciated. This is precisely why we advocate “Slow Fashion, Slow Luxury,” proposing the unseen stories that unfold within the subtle “spaces” behind each object as a new form of value. Together with artisans across Japan, we aim to share this once-shared aesthetic sensibility with the world as a new form of “spiritual luxury.”

Since its founding by Akio Hirata, Haute Mode Hirata has pioneered the possibilities of hats with “creativity and tradition” at its core. With the skills and sensibility inherited across three generations, the brand now offers three lines—Akio Hirata OHKO, H.at, and saki et show—proposing hats that reflect the diverse values of the times.

・Ohko Hirata: As the daughter of hat designer Akio Hirata, she has pursued her own unique hat expression over many years working in the atelier. After Akio Hirata’s death, she took over the atelier and became chief designer of “Akio Hirata OHKO”. She has worked with many designers on collections and collaborations in hat creation.
・Saki Hirata: The eldest daughter of Ohko Hirata. In 2018 she launched “saki et show” with Show Hirata as a designer; in 2022 she became chief designer of “H.at”.
・Show Hirata: The eldest son of Ohko Hirata. In 2018 he launched “saki et show” with Saki Hirata as a designer.

C JEAN is a designer brand based in Taiwan. Through clothing, the brand gives form to the time held within materials.
Working across diverse materials, craft traditions, and interdisciplinary collaborations, the brand uses research and experimentation to explore how techniques, gestures, and cultural memory leave traces in materials. Its dialogues with Taiwanese lacquer art and Kyoto rōketsu-zome (wax-resist dyeing) form part of this broader practice, through which these explorations are reconfigured into the structure, silhouette, and texture of contemporary dress.
Here, craft is not treated as a borrowed motif or decorative reference, but as a vessel of time, knowledge, and human practice. Clothing brings these accumulated histories into a present relationship with the body.
Alongside its independent collections and cultural projects, C JEAN has undertaken commissioned design projects and cross-sector collaborations with partners across the automotive, hospitality, and real-estate development sectors, including Audi Taiwan and Le Méridien Taipei. Through these collaborations, the brand extends its design language beyond clothing into uniforms, corporate identity, and spatial contexts.
In March 2026, C JEAN presented the opening show at Taipei Fashion Week. C JEAN’s work is also featured in Shogakukan’s 『台湾クラフトへの旅』 (A Journey into Taiwanese Craft).

Chun-Yuan Jean holds an MA in Fashion Design and Technology from London College of Fashion (University of the Arts London／UAL) and completed internships at Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan.
She received the Bronze Prize in the Textile & Fiber Art category at the Florence Biennale in both 2019 and 2023. She has also designed and produced attire that the Vice President of Taiwan wore at inauguration-related events and an official dinner.
Her practice spans fashion collections, exhibitions, live presentations, and cultural projects. Across these forms, clothing is not merely something worn, but part of a narrative in which clothing, space, and the body come together as a single work.

CHARINYEH is a Taiwan-based designer brand founded in 1985 by creative director Cha-Rin Yeh.
Rooted in Eastern aesthetics, cultural memory, and structural tailoring, the brand explores the relationship between clothing, body, and space through contemporary fashion.
Raised in rural Taiwan, Yeh developed her design philosophy from local culture, natural landscapes, and traditional tailoring practices. Since founding the brand, she has continued to approach pattern-making as a form of structural thinking, creating garments that emphasize proportion, layering, and quiet presence.
Rather than pursuing immediate visual impact, CHARINYEH focuses on clothing that gradually reveals its depth through wear and time.
Through its collections, runway presentations, and international projects, the brand continues to present a contemporary Taiwanese perspective within the global fashion landscape.

Cha-Rin Yeh is the founder and creative director of CHARINYEH. Through more than four decades of design practice, she has developed a distinctive design language rooted in memory, landscape, and the relationship between body and space.
Raised in a rural town near Taiwan’s Zhuoshui River, Yeh’s aesthetic sensibility was shaped by nature, local culture, and everyday rituals. In her youth, she learned tailoring techniques from local dressmakers, and created her first garment from hand-dyed fertilizer sacks — an experience that became the starting point for transforming ordinary materials into a refined design vocabulary.
Since founding CHARINYEH in 1985, Yeh has continued to approach pattern-making as a form of thinking. Through repeated cutting, draping, and reconstruction, she explores the structural relationship between fabric, body, and movement.
Rather than pursuing immediate visual impact, her work focuses on garments that reveal their depth and presence gradually through wear and time.

After working at Zara, Alexander McQueen and Phoebe Philo’s Céline, she founded SONIA CARRASCO in 2020. Rooted in tailoring and craftsmanship, her work explores garment construction through process, questioning conventions and revealing the elements that usually remain hidden.
