m1mo
| Timeless, Unique Pieces |

“m1mo” is a project founded by Matteo Scalvini, aimed at redefining the aesthetics of Japanese tradition by updating antique objects for everyday life.

The brand is built on values of uniqueness, elegance, craftsmanship, and sustainability, all fully realized in Japan. It represents a new wave in slow fashion, focusing on quality and meaningful design.

From East to West, the kimono carries with it a dynamic interplay of shapes and colors that convey the spirit of another world, distant and otherworldly. Behind the many techniques of dyeing and weaving lie symbols and meanings that infuse each Japanese garment with depth and its own unique language. The simplicity of the word “m1mo” embodies the essence of elegance, finding expression in the restraint of composition, without unnecessary embellishment. Similarly, in both Japanese culture and beyond, mime represents the essence of language, using mere gestures and the evocative power of traditional clothing to express the full range of human emotions.
