Fashion design is a form of three-dimensional sculpture created from soft materials.
Design is not only about creating beautiful things, but also about bringing ideas into everyday life. Through clothing—the everyday necessity closest to the human body—I hope to narrow the distance between people and design, allowing design to be not merely something that is viewed, but something that can be worn, felt, and naturally become part of daily life.

Title
Tiny Diary
Description
Micro・Everyday is based on the concept of a “diary of a day in scenery.” Beginning with waking up in a room, the journey moves through the home and neighborhood streets toward the park, encounters an afternoon thunderstorm on the way home, and finally ends with anticipation for the next journey. The collection transforms the small, easily overlooked moments of everyday life into clothing.
The collection features warm, soft, and livable colors, combining diverse materials such as printed fabrics, denim, wool, lace, and chains. Through patchwork, embroidery, three-dimensional embellishment, and illustrative forms, scenes of red-brick houses, narrow streets, utility wires, trees, and picnics are transformed into a visual language that resembles illustrations brought to life through clothing.
The designs also incorporate interactive and transformable details, such as rearrangeable pins, chains that can hold miniature garments, washing-machine and electrical-box-inspired pockets with storage functions, and retractable, interactive balls made from measuring tapes. These details allow the garments to become more than objects to be viewed or worn; they invite the wearer to physically alter their appearance and participate in the design process, making every wearing experience their own personal “Micro・Everyday.”
