How would you describe Mieko Mintz products?

Blending Japanese aesthetics and philosophies with Indian sensuality, fabrics, colors and needlework makes these garments truly unique. I have never worn anything like them. They suit my various moods which differ like the seasons, some light and breezy and others heavier and grounding. They are complimentary to a woman at any age.
