kimura/monon

He was born in Ishikawa Prefecture which is in the northern part of Japan. 

He now lives and works in Hyogo Prefecture.

After graduating from a technical college in civil engineering, he has been working for a big infrastructure company.

While working for the  company, he started to design and direct his own brand, “monon”.

The reason why he established his own brand is to break away from the boredom of everyday life. This is the driving force that motivates him to expand his concept brand.

With great hopeness to create his own value and life by himself, he is passionate to work on it.

All of his designs have a “sluggish” look.

The look shows his disdain and disgust for his past actions, which plays an important role in his brand mixed with the graffiti culture on street walls that he loves.

He shows the feelings of disdain and disgust for his past actions to the world through graffiti culture.

He considers that the apparel brand is one of what he wants to do, rather one of taking measures to expand his ideas, although he is currently working on it.

Actually and originally, he started to send out his designs through TikTok.

After receiving a lot of requests to set up an apparel brand, he is now just incorporating his designs into clothing.

He hopes that through his designs, those who cannot challenge something like he once did himself will be changed to take an action

He also wants to share his ideas with the world in a form other than any apparel.

That’s what he envisions for the future.
