concept

Mikio combined men’s tailoring with colourful printed fabrics developed from his own drawings. The result is a collection made of entirely reversible outfits: one side is total grey, formal, with three-dimensional inserts of metropolitan landscapes. But when turned inside-out, it becomes a feast of colour, with strongly inspired manga style drawings, full of details and visibly layered with printed fabric, giving a sensation of depth to contrast the bidimensionality of the prints.
