7/17 in Milan

I was in Italy from Thu. 7th to Sun 10th.

I moved from Paris to Milan on Thu. morning and had a business from afternoon.

It takes about 1 hour between Paris and Milan and the cost is very reasonable compare between Kyoto and Tokyo, especially by Shinkansen. If you are lucky you could find less than $10 ticket between.. can you believe it?

I moved so many times and met so many people this time business trip.

I might be little nervous because I met many people from different type of jobs and fields not only fashion business field, so I missed good photos to take.

I didn't have chances to take the photos in Milan as well.

*You can see many photos from Lake Garda instead which I took on Sat. 9th and Sun. 10th. tomorrow here.

Anyway.. I would like to talk about the business that we discussed in Milan...

However, I can't tell you the detail because it's still on the way.

(I am sorry being fuzzy since yesterday here..)

If it will come true, it would be a new project as HINAYA, so I would make effort to make come true.

7/16 Left for Champagne

I got to Paris on Monday, the 4th and JEAN DOUCET drove me to Champagne.

Since he used our textile for his collection in Jan. He has loved HINAYA textile and has told me that that would be very nice to have another collaboration together.

Champagne was his favor for me.

Also it was for business for the package on the wine bottle.

We already picked the textile and design and just waiting for the permission for the cost..

It would be wonderful work together if it come out true. I do hope it come true.

All of the pics that I put in this blog this business trip were from this Champagne.

It was very beautiful, wonderful and rich place.

I stayed a night there in a beautiful old castle hotel.

They served me full course dinner with wonderful champagne after the visiting to see making the champagne there next day.

I was treated most graciously at the winery and got ORPALE 1998, as gift.

They served this champagne and to me, this has elegant smell and special old flavor in it and make it wonderful.

I will open this bottle at our party "YUKATA PARTY" at H I N A Y A　K Y O T O Kiyomizu Gojozaka branch!

I will let you know here the work with Jean.

Before that, he will visit Kyoto in Oct. for the next collection in Paris in Jan.

I also look forward to this.

7/15 on aura tout vu * H I N A Y A

I have just come back from business trip for Paris-Milan last night.

I didn't have even a chance to write blog here because my tight schedule and I fell down to bed in a hotel every night whenever I was back.

Paris-Champagne-Paris-Milan-Lake Garda-Milan-Paris

It was very fulfilled trip to meet many people by many transportation.

It is very hard to tell you everything at once even I want to, I missed so many days to up-road here :-) I wonder if which one I should tell you first..

OK, then I will tell you little by little day by day from now.

First, of course, let me tell you Haute Couture.

This is the fifth time to provide our textile to on aura tout vu collection.

I found HINAYA Textile in 5 bodies this time for 2011-2012 Autumn and Winter collection.

I miss the best shutter chance for the picture talking to other people and I didn't like my photos at all..

I also have to say that I forgot to take my best camera with me when I visited the studio of on aura tout vu. So every photo is taken by i-phone and came out not so clear..

I attached the video from Youtube by themselves, please enjoy.

One of the other designers said

"He knows HINAYA textile very well and knows how he should cut them and how they answer him".

The show it self had a very metallic feeling but HINAYA textile was standing out from there.

We also could have a good conversation for the next collection and I was very satisfied as HINAYA.
