An exhibition exploring Mina Perhonen’s work through the word “tsugu”
The fashion and textile brand Mina Perhonen will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025.
Mina Perhonen’s creative process begins with textile patterns crafted by hand by the designers. Through dialogue, trial and error, and ingenuity with artisans who are also skilled technicians, these designs have come to fruition as individual pieces of fabric, garments, and various interior products.This exhibition introduces the brand’s journey of creating unique products while exploring what it means to be a brand that will endure for 100 years, featuring rare original drawings and textiles, as well as glimpses into the embroidery, weaving, and printing workshops. It is an exhibition that allows visitors to experience Mina Perhonen’s approach to craftsmanship, which pursues universal value rather than being swayed by trends.
