Each month, we interview a Tokyo-based designer to find out what inspires their style and where they love to shop in the city. Our September trendsetter is Kanno Miho, the talented founder and designer of Orivar Sat.

MY CLOTHING BRAND IS…

A modest mix inspired by current trends and classic designs, colors and cuts, allowing women to explore and express their personal style. With a focus on patterns and cuts, our iconic items are our skirts and pants, both made from the finest quality fabric and with Japan-made sewing machines.

TOKYO FASHION IS…

A mix of styles. Tokyo-based designers take inspiration from trends and cultures from all corners of the globe. Borrowing from fellow designers and trendsetters, they bring to life a creative vision unique to them. Fashion enthusiasts are very much the same. Instead of sticking to a single style, they like to wear pieces from a variety of styles.

MY FAVORITE SHOPS IN TOKYO ARE…
