Here we are. The Mina Perhonen Kids Collection. Brainchild of Japanese designer Akira Minagawa, Mina Perhonen has been a sought after, avant garde womenswear and design company since 1995 when the company was just called Mina. So glad he has added kidswear to his repertoire.
His highly detailed and timeless designs combine Scandinavian and Japanese influences to unique effect. The stunningly whimsical designs created under the Mina Perhonen banner are not only used to form the basis for his fashion line, but more recently, have been used as interior and upholstery.
Collaborations with Fritz Hansen and Kvadrat have further heightened his cult status.
At Mina Perhonen, everything from his pattern design, to the cut of his clothes, his fashion shows, shop displays, marketing material and photography is treated with finesse and incredibly painstaking detail.
See his wonderful womenswear collection, textiles and decor on his site. And his shop in Tokyo out of this world. See photos below.
Akira is also the creative director of Sally Scott, a design brand named after an imaginary girl.
The rhapsody that is the Mina Perhonen shop in Tokyo. It is like an art exhibit.
