Misora Nakamori
Born in Tokyo, graduated at Central Saint Martins in London and The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Misora Nakamori lives in Paris, the base of her namesake label.
Misora’s roots are intrinsically Japanese, her creative freedom shaped by her formative years in London, her commitment shaped by her time in Antwerp (acquainted with radical ideas and work ethic), her spirit indubitably Parisian (a slower more ingenious creation/life balance).
She joins forces with artisans to create individual and multifaceted handmade pieces that capture the delicacy in what is usually discarded; what is in the shadow. Embracing what is often considered “unnecessary” she finds inspiration and brings abandoned materials, factors, and thoughts into the spotlight.
She questions the construct of beauty: what you see versus what you feel versus what you know.
