Tell us a bit about you, your background. What made you start your brand?

To be honest I haven’t a specific background in fashion, I started my career in law but after a bit I understood that it not was the right way because my passion was totally focused on fashion so I decided to follow this passion. Thanks to the first people who helped me get started working in the fashion industry, I focused on the accessories sector and become a production consultant for luxury accessories made in Italy. I love to work on the product especially for catwalk shows or editorial production. During this journey I decided it was time to have my own brand, my group, my vision, so Mikyri was born.

What is the story behind the name Mikyri?

Mikyri is an ancient Japanese world that means to look, to strike. Every single product is totally handmade and made in Italy but the team behind Mikyri  has a passion for oriental philosophy and style of life so this prompted us to get inspired and research on other side of the word.

What about your design process, how do you start working on a collection?

Our key word is contamination. Contamination from the past, contemporary needs and from the constant research of new designs and materials. We have a group of people that work together and try to bring personal and external contamination into a specific mood.

How important is craftmanship and the “Made in Italy” tradition for your brand?
