What inspired you to become a fashion designer?

Miyuki Terao began studying fashion design and sewing at age 15 before working as an ODM designer for a Tokyo based OEM company. She later launched Remake Innovation Project to give new life to clothing that would otherwise be discarded.

How would you describe your design style?

The brand focuses on handmade remake fashion, transforming unused and discarded clothing into new garments and accessories. Existing pieces are reconstructed creatively, giving overlooked clothing a new purpose and value.

What can people expect from your “Connecting The Dots” collection?

Inspired by Steve Jobs’ idea of connecting the dots, the collection explores how present choices can create meaningful connections in the future. Different textures and reconstructed elements bring this concept into the garments.

How are different textures used throughout the collection?

Contrasting textures are brought together to represent separate fragments forming new connections. The approach reflects the collection’s central idea that seemingly unrelated moments or materials can gain new meaning when combined.

What techniques help express the idea behind “Connecting The Dots”?

Smocking, cord work, and embroidery inspired by neural structures appear throughout the collection. These techniques visually connect different elements while reinforcing the theme of individual fragments coming together to create new meaning.
