Mimoto Apparel

Small business selling sweaters on Shopify.

Context

In 2020, I founded a small business called Mimoto Apparel that sold minimalist streetwear inspired sweaters tailored for Anime & K-Culture fandoms.

Problem

There's a lot of fast fashion graphic T's for anime lovers. However, majority of them overstate the designs in a way that leans into negative stereotypes of being weird with only tacky representation of beloved fandoms.

Solution

I created a brand & design direction for a minimalist & streetwear-inspire fashion design that brings a refined look to anime fandoms.
