Mina Perhonen: Fashion and design
24 October 2009 – 28 February 2010
Audax Textielmuseum, Tilburg

The work of the Japanese fashion and textile designer Akira Minagawa  (minä perhonen) can best be described as timeless, whimsical and with a great deal of feeling for minute details. In his work Akira Minagawa is continuously looking for the boundaries of what is technically achievable. That results in fine details that are hidden as small surprises in his clothing and fabrics. Using various weaving, printing and embroidery machines, he combines old and new techniques in a wayward manner.
