KNT365 x Jungmin Son: A Fusion of Art and Sustainable Fashion
KNT365, a forward-thinking lifestyle brand focused on sustainability, is set to unveil a remarkable collaboration with the talented artist Jungmin Son. This partnership will officially launch on September 30, 2023, at the newly established flagship store known as
THE KNT365 HOUSE in Harajuku, Tokyo, as well as through their online platform at
KNT365's official website
Jungmin Son, an illustrator and artist operating between Seoul and New York, has built a reputation for her delicate lines, warm colors, and the way she captures vibrant emotions, translating everyday gestures and fleeting expressions into stunning visual art. Her impressive portfolio includes collaborations with high-profile brands like Uniqlo, Louis Vuitton, and Dior, showcasing her ability to resonate across various artistic mediums.
KNT365 seeks to combine art with sustainability, creating products that are good for the planet, people, and animals—essentially embodying the spirit of a lifestyle brand that encourages eco-friendly living. Their latest
Fourty Artist Edition and
Mam Artist Edition bags incorporate recycled polyester threads created from PET bottles, demonstrating a commitment to environmentally conscious production.
These newly released products beautifully showcase Jungmin Son's artistic style. The designs reflect an affinity for simplicity while highlighting emotional depth. For instance, the
Mam Artist Edition features playful designs adorned with various dogs against a serene white backdrop, which is not only visually appealing but also functional, offering ample storage for laptops and documents. This bag encapsulates Jungmin's love for her canine companions, representing a deeper desire for lasting connections with them.
The
Fourty Artist Edition takes on a more striking approach, depicting a woman with long brown hair, carrying a rose in her mouth—a striking representation of strength combined with delicacy. The color scheme harmonizes with a vibrant green signature, adding coherence to the piece. Jungmin comments on the significance of this work, stating, “It captures the essence of women—a theme I have always been fascinated with and continue to explore.”
KNT365’s collaboration goes beyond the surface level; it embodies a philosophy of creativity interwoven with sustainability. Each piece transports the unique sensitivity of Jungmin’s artistry into functional fashion items while using materials responsibly produced domestically, further enriching the relationship between art and conscious consumerism.
The creative space, a bright and inspiring artist studio filled with Jungmin's works, acts as a haven of calmness and innovation. Visitors to the studio can feel the artistic energy in the air, reflecting her artistic journey and dedication to her craft.
Scheduled to open on September 30,
THE KNT365 HOUSE will not only unveil these collaboration pieces but will also showcase original art pieces by Jungmin Son. The first day of retail will mark a significant moment for both brands, elevating the art of sustainability.
