The Mouth Study Collection explores expression through form, distortion, and repetition.
The mouth — a symbol of voice, identity, and emotion — is examined not as a portrait, but as a structure that can be reshaped, fragmented, and reinterpreted across garments.
Each piece in this collection begins with an existing form and is altered by hand through cutting, patching, bleaching, and reconstruction. The garments become studies in transformation — documenting how material, shape, and meaning evolve through process.
No two pieces are identical.
Each one is a record of experimentation.
Handmade by Niya in Tokyo.
