This is a passion project for the brand developed by Leon Reilly and myself known as, YKMISE. The collection name comes from an idea my mother and I would joke about - me being a foreigner wherever I go. I am half-Japanese and I have always felt different in whatever country I travel to or live in. This brand’s mission is to provide a community and a physical connection, through clothing, for other half individuals who identify with multiple cultures. The imagery is taken from vintage postcards that were gifted to me by one of my long-time best friends.
