i love artsy designers...
but lovely artsy.
a new friend i got to know through tc just came back with some minä perhonen (2 dresses, 1 bag and 1 purse to be exact), by tokyo-based designer akira minagawa, whom i raved about during a drinking session some months back, after i got back from my japan trip....
i need to go back. kyoto this time. argh.
we love his avant-garde japanesque artsy style, hand-drawn prints and textiles, he has also published several art books, and i particularly love that he does not follow market trends and yet does well commercially. an inspiration, yes?

Oh yes you need to definitely drop by kyoto the next time you're there! I stumbled onto their little shop by accident as I was cycling past go-jo street to get to an arts supply store. Such is the fabulousness of just wandering around -- you'll never know what you'll find.
