SS 11 Long Distance LOVE!

This is migh-T new SS11 collection I have released just now!

2011 Spring Summer collection The inspiration for the SS11 " Long Distance Love" collection came from Kumiko’s fascination of worldly stamps and her romanticising of other distant countries and far away lands. Following on from the iconic koala print from the AW 09 collection, “Long Distance Love” explores the spectrum of emotions one goes through whilst in a long distance friendship. Hand drawn illustrations of stamps, airmail and gifts between friends and lovers are just some of the prints that take pride of place in within the collection.

2011春夏コレクション
遥かなる国の友からの切手や手紙に思いを馳せた" Long Distance Love"コレクション。migh-Tのアイコンであるコアラが再登場し、かの国の王女にむけてペンを走らせる。
エアメールやプレゼントの封を開ける楽しみ、美しい切手、インクのしみ、すべてがいとおしい。

I will be in Paris from 3rd to 5th October.

space sweets collection!

We have released migh-T 10AW collection "Space Sweets" at Who's Next Paris last month.

TheAW10 collection entitled ‘Space Sweets’ features huge sweets flying through the universe on new pattern T-shirts and dresses. The prints showing doughnut meteors and whipped cream comets represent the massive freedom of childhood playfulness. The designs use different scales to show that there is no limit to your imagination. From doughnuts soaring through the Milky Way, to constellations showing faces in the sky, anything is possible.
