Five designs for men and five for women released.

The encounter between BEAMS and MIC ITAYA occurred at the MIC ITAYA exhibition "The Star's Atelier," held at B GALLERY in BEAMS JAPAN, Shinjuku, from April to May 2011. This unprecedented exhibition, spanning all seven floors of BEAMS JAPAN, generated significant buzz.

"That initiative led to me being invited to paint the mural on the wall behind the counter at 'BEAMS LIGHTS Shibuya' on the 4th floor of Shibuya Hikarie ShinQs, and then to create clothing. That's how 'BEAMS LIGHTS with MIC*ITAYA' began," says MIC ITAYA. This season, MIC is overseeing the entire design process, not just the textiles, for the release.

MIC believes that "Clothing is a package that envelops the body, from which a person's individuality, expression, and personality naturally emanate. It's the closest thing to the skin, and it represents the person whether they are wearing it or not." He is convinced that clothing can connect with individuals more directly than artistic works.

"Life as a Journey." Let's enjoy travel more.

The symbol of "BEAMS LIGHTS with MIC*ITAYA" is the "dove." MIC has a fondness for this motif, even holding exhibitions themed around it. "Doves are found in squares all over the world, symbolizing a journey of love and peace, and offering protection for safe travels. They often appear in my graphics, and I consider them friends with wings," he explains.
