Greetings from Japan, where I am on a creative adventure in a culture from which I find infinite inspiration.

In Japanese, the word jōhin (上品) speaks to a kind of elegance that’s quiet, intentional, and deeply refined—never flashy, always thoughtful. It’s the grace found in restraint, the beauty of perfect proportions, and the confidence of knowing that less can truly be more.

For those of us who create our own clothes using luxury fabrics, jōhin isn’t just a style—it’s a philosophy. It’s finishing a seam by hand because it matters, and letting the fabric make a fashion statement, quietly. This is elegance not as performance, but as presence.

I have a special place in my heart, home, and wardrobe for Japanese textiles, and I am very excited to bring you first-dibs deals our Japanese Collection featuring a fresh curation of cottons and linens sure to stand the test of time, and trend.
