MINNANO & TOILET

Kagami & Goro's method of creating interesting collaborations.

The collaboration between "SEPARATE BATH & TOILET" and "MINNANO" was very popular this spring. The second installment of this collaboration will be released on November 29 (Sat.). A pop-up store will also be held at "Dover Street Market Ginza" from November 29 (Sat) to December 5 (Fri)! So, what kind of items did they create this time? Let's have Ken Kagami and Goro Nakatsugawa, key persons in the collaboration, talk at length about what kind of items they have created this time!

I hear Dover gets more customers when it rains.

So, the rags...do you guys actually wear ragged clothes?

Nakatsu River: The crew-neck sweatshirt I made this time is based on Kagami-san's personal items.

I remember Kagami-san wearing a tattered jacket once upon a time.

Kagami: Goro-san asked me to bring him my raggedest one. It was given to me a long time ago, but I hadn't worn it for so long that when I pulled on it, it ripped. The fabric had deteriorated.

Nakatsu River: Even old band T-shirts seem to tear at the border between the print and the body if they are not worn. A guy at a vintage clothing store told me that washed T-shirts are tougher, but sweatshirts can be fashionable.

Indeed.

Nakatsu River: If we were to collaborate next, it would be interesting to do something like tattered underwear.

Kagami: I would put yellow stains on them or something (laughs).

All: (Laughter).

Nakatsu River: Then there are socks with holes in them from the start (laughs).

Kagami: That's so bad!

Nakatsu River: It's a little bit like Margiela's idea.

Kagami: That's true! If you go up to a bar and say, "There's a hole in the floor! you can say, "That's just the way it's designed.

Nakatsu River: If that becomes the norm, no one will point out holes in socks.

That would be amazing. Are you going to do another pop-up at "Dover Street Market Ginza" this time?

Kagami: We will do it from Saturday, November 29 to Friday, December 5!

I guess you have a lot of foreign customers because you are in Ginza?

Nakatsu River: Probably most of them. I hear Dover gets more customers when it rains.

Kagami: What? Why?

Nakatsu River: I hear that people who can no longer go to amusement parks are now going shopping in Ginza.

Kagami: I see!

I hope it rains then. It would be a blessing.

Kagami: I hate rain...

Nakatsu River: I would be happy if all kinds of people came (laughs).
