Admired by some, shunned by others,
Here we embrace the dual dignities, merged into one.

In each realm, the material revered differently—
Today, we dare to meld these two perceptions into one.

MIZEN BLACK COLLECTION

Now, with all doubts cast by colors stripped away,
Simply feel the true expression woven directly by the threads themselves.

Since the launch of our 2022 Project, MIZEN has collaborated with over twelve kimono production regions and unveiled numerous collections.
With the announcement of this collection, we are introducing a standardized lineup, unified in black, using textiles that we have previously introduced.
The first release includes collections made with materials from Ushikubi Tsumugi in Ishikawa and Ribbon Ori (silk ribbon textile) in Kyoto.

An updated sleeveless v-neck layered top,
cut from a single 38cm wide piece of fabric
that stretches from front to back.
Now with raglan sleeves, it offers the comfort
of a T-shirt with the added elegance of
MIZEN's original matching 'BLACK' silk ribbon
applied to the asymmetric V-neckline and body edges.



JFSL01
ASYMMETRIC FLARE LONG SKIRT/ WOMEN
RIBBON ORI "MENS SOLID YARN-DYED BLACK"

Utilising the narrow width of the kimono fabric,
this skirt is cut in a trapezoidal pattern
and joined in two layers to create a luxurious flared line,
creating a voluminous silhouette. The skirt is embellished
with MIZEN's original matching 'BLACK' silk ribbon
applied to the straight sections of the kimono fabric
and finished with a stepped hem for a bold and elegant look.

「余白を楽しむプロジェクト」
A Project to Interpret the Unseen

MIZENは　目に映る美しさの奥に広がる産地の風土や歴史　職人の技術　そして生き様といった『余白』こそが我々の作品の本質的な価値であると考えています。
現代のファッションは　瞬間的で視覚的な刺激が重視されるがあまり過度なスピードが求められています。
その加速された消費の世界では本来時間をかけて丁寧に仕上げられるべき手仕事が評価の舞台にすら立つことができません。
伝統技術の衰退は我々一人ひとりが無自覚に求めている『欲望の速度』によって引き起こされているのです。
だからこそ私たちはそのスピードを緩めたときに見えてくる新鮮で豊かな世界を作品を通じて提示したいと考えています。
MIZENが目指す道は現代の流れに逆行する　静的で悠然とした美の在り方への挑戦かもしれません。
しかし日本にはかつて「余白を楽しむ」という価値観が確かに存在していましたそれはものの奥に潜む物語や気配を自ら感じ取り想像し心を満たす行為であり日本人が長い歴史の中で培ってきた美意識でもあります。
私たちは　現代の人々が忘れかけているこの感性を日本各地に点在する伝統技術とともに再び呼び覚まし世界へと届けていきたいと考えています。
そしてその余白に自ら気づき　埋めていく過程に喜びや幸せを感じられることこそが物質的経済的なラグジュアリーとは異なる精神的な新たなラグジュアリーの在り方だと信じています。
MIZENは「余白を楽しむプロジェクト」として日本の伝統技術を「ブランド」として昇華させるために職人たちの手仕事とその奥に眠る物語を洋服という形にのせ新たなラグジュアリーの可能性を問い続けていきます。
