Designer of the week - Mayumi Torio.

Today we start a new column and while it is called designer of the week, it is more of a discovery of a week in a sense, and actually it is not going to be a weekly thing at all. Confused? We are confused too.

Any　way meet Mayumi Torio – a Tokyo based fashion designer, whose wool flared skirt from 2009-10 A/W collection completely carried us away. We first of all adore the minimalism and simplicity of almost architectural forms found in many of her works, and yet the skirt reminds us of a spaceship, now spaceship it may not be, but we love it. Who would wonder that this item is sold out.
