Proposing New Lifestyles Through Collaboration with Artisans



The "mode" that minorityrev handles is an expression of various elements, such as the environment and societal trends, filtered through fashion. It is described as a fleeting breeze and scent that captures "now" and "the near future."

The "mode" expressed by "Porter Classic Ginza," which stands alongside "minorityrev tokyo," can be called a completely new standard of world-class Made in Japan, born from respect for traditional craftsmanship.
By combining these two, they reveal new facets of each other, creating a unique style found nowhere else.
Furthermore, expressing gratitude to Fukuoka and Kyushu, the home of minorityrev, they continue activities to convey the unique culture and charm of each in terms of clothing, food, and housing.

For example, they commissioned Kazuyuki Kumagai, the designer of "ATTACHMENT," to create items themed around the fusion of his signature leather techniques with "Porter Classic." This resulted in a leather blouson made from organic leather discovered in Germany, a first for Japan.
Additionally, from the fusion of "FACTOTUM" and "Porter Classic," an indigo-dyed poplin shirt designed by Koji Udo, the designer of "FACTOTUM," has been released.
Other unique items include a collaboration and limited edition model with Julien David and DC COMICS / Warner Bros.' "Superman." They have also launched their autumn/winter collection, featuring the fully relaunched "munoz vrandecic."

Furthermore, through the new project "kego," they will offer proposals encompassing clothing, food, and housing, including the sale of carefully selected mentaiko (spicy cod roe), rice, and Aiba water, all representative of Fukuoka.
