Mikio Sakabe

This brand is a collaboration between Sakabe Mikio (born in 1976), who graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp at the top of his class, and Taiwanese designer Shueh Jen Fang. They launched the brand with an installation-style show for their 2007 autumn/winter Paris collection. From spring/summer 2008 they began showing in Paris and Tokyo. For autumn/winter 2011, they hosted a fashion and Akiba culture (Akiba is short for Akihabara) combined event, featuring a talked-about appearance on the runway by the J-pop girl group Dempagumi.inc. The theme of their 2012 spring/summer collection is Holy. In an about turn from last season, they present a relaxed and natural view of the world with pastel tones and frequent use of gauze fabrics.
