Launched in 1991, Japanese maker Antipast creates a unique luxury experience with their intricate and delicate textile focused designs. Textile designers Junko Jinushi and Kyoko Kato met while collaborating on accessories and costumes for magazines and advertisements.
Their made-in-Japan hosiery and knitwear takes a nostalgic and poetic approach, working beautiful and light designs into their knit jacquards. With reference to the popular Italian appetizer that sets the anticipation for the meal to come, Antipast inspires the wearer to weave beauty in personal expression and reflects the two Japanese designers desire to help the fashion world blossom.
