Mono-ha
Making more with less.
Mono-Ha harnesses the power of textile design, digital technology and computer software techniques to create and provide form, volume, and texture in fresh and intriguing womenswear.
Taking Minimal and Zero waste textile production to new levels.
Beautiful and sensual shapes and silhouettes emerge from the framework, thanks to a transformative blend of techniques that integrate construction, print, and wearability.
Mono-Ha is built and grown around a maturity and desire to communicate other ways to produce printed clothes and live a life where minimal waste, non synthetic materials and individuality is seen as the norm.
Our link to the Mono-ha Movement
Mono-ha [School of Things] is a Japanese art movement f
rom the late 1960s and early 1970s that emphasises the interaction between natural and industrial materials. Artists use materials like wood, earth, and water, highlighting their inherent qualities without creating many new forms, simple ways to emphasise their beauty and essence. Their work aimed to bring ‘things’ together in as unaltered a state as possible. The artists 'rearranged' rather than 'created' artworks, highlighting the
interdependent relationships between these 'things' and the space around th
em. This challenged perceptions of materials, inviting people to relate to them in new ways.
"This new collection embodies Mono-ha's signature design ethos, aiming to create a more beautiful and restorative world. We reflect on the purpose of our work, dedicating ourselves to design and curiosity, and striving to contribute to a better future. Our core values include purpose, form, function, sensuality, and aesthetics, celebrating joy and the possibility of change.”
Created by the RCA graduate, Zandra Rhodes and Alexander McQueen textile designer who's passionate about communicating a message about innovation in design.
