Mieko Mintz

Mieko Mintz was born in Japan on the island of Kyushu and studied fashion in Tokyo. After working there as a fashion designer, she came to the United States and fate has kept her here ever since. She creates sophisticated, contemporary designs, while never forgetting comfort.

Mieko’s work follows the Kantha tradition; first, her designs are made into Kantha Throws in West Bengal and then cut to fit her jacket designs that are inspired by her tradition with Japanese Kimono culture.

She finds romance in the saris’ reincarnation in the new Kantha: the old saris coming back to life in a totally different time and land. The clothing's integration with the Kimono tradition moves it into a new realm of international relevance.
