Kotoba

Kotoba, the Japanese word for language, is also the name of a brand new collection in its very first season, designed by recent Fashion Institute of Technology fashion design graduates, Melinda Danko and Lindsay Mann. The collection is produced using Shima Seiki’s whole garment knitting technology, which eliminates waste through knitting the entire garment in one process.

The collection features timeless, simple and versatile pieces, with unexpected structural details and textures, in the form of lacy stiches and graphic alternation between semi-sheer and solid knit effects. Available in a basic color palette of black, taupe and ivory, the collection is augmented with bright, playful, punchy colorations, including coral and mint green, featuring contrasting edgings and varying stripe combinations.

Kotoba operated until February 2015.
